Technical Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in various Intuit products, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors in the "AWAPI4.dll" ActiveX control when processing malformed arguments passed to certain methods and properties, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page. For additional information, see : VUPEN/ADV-2007-4194
