Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical has been found in Ntrglobal NTR ActiveX control up to 1.1.7. Affected is some unknown processing of the component ActiveX Control. The manipulation of the argument lModule with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The StopModule method in the NTR ActiveX control before 2.0.4.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted lModule parameter that triggers use of an arbitrary memory address as a function pointer.
