Insight
Insight
Multiple flaws are due to - Error in the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) within the ATL headers that handle instantiation of an object from data streams. - Error in the ATL headers, which could allow a string to be read with no ending NULL bytes, which could allow an attacker to manipulate a string to read extra data beyond the end of the string and thus disclose information in memory. - Error in the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) headers, which could allow attackers to call 'VariantClear()' on a variant that has not been correctly initialized, leading to arbitrary code execution.
