Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) ActiveListen (Xlisten.dll) and (2) ActiveVoice (Xvoice.dll) speech controls, as used by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ActiveX object that triggers memory corruption, as demonstrated via the ModeName parameter to the FindEngine function in ACTIVEVOICEPROJECTLib.DirectSS.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
