Last Update Date: 28 Jan 2011 Release Date: 5 Feb 2008 5513 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Yahoo! Music Jukebox, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors in the "datagrid.dll" and "mediagrid.dll" ActiveX controls when processing overly long arguments passed to certain methods (e.g. "AddImage()", "AddButton()" or "AddBitmap()"), which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.

System / Technologies affected

  • Yahoo! Music Jukebox version 2.2.2.056 and prior
