Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Microsoft Visual Basic, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system. These issues are caused by buffer overflow errors when processing a DSR with an overly long "ConnectionName" or "CommandName" value, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable application or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted ".dsr" file and then clicking on the "ConnectionName" or "CommandName" field in the View Object window.
Affected Products
Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0 SP6 and prior
Solution
VUPEN Security is not aware of any vendor-supplied patch.
