Stack-based buffer overflow in the getPlus ActiveX control in gp.ocx 1.2.2.50 in NOS Microsystems getPlus Download Manager, as used for the Adobe Reader 8.1 installation process and other downloads, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different issue than CVE-2008-4817.
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.
