Stack-based buffer overflow in the SWCtl.SWCtl ActiveX control in Adobe Shockwave allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the ShockwaveVersion method.
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.
