====================================================================== 
4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in NCTAudioStudio,
NCTAudioEditor, and NCTDialogicVoice, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
NCTAudioFile2.AudioFile ActiveX control (NCTAudioFile2.dll) when
handling the "SetFormatLikeSample()" method. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string
(about 4124 bytes) as argument to the affected method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code when a user
e.g. visits a malicious website.

====================================================================== 
5) Solution 

Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.

Use another product.

====================================================================== 
6) Time Table 

03/01/2007 - Vendor notified.
10/01/2007 - Vendor notified again.
17/01/2007 - Other vendors using vulnerable component contacted.
24/01/2007 - Public disclosure.

====================================================================== 
7) Credits 

Discovered by Carsten Eiram, Secunia Research.

======================================================================
