Buffer Overflow in MW6MaxiCode Class
The Data parameter in the MW6MaxiCode Class is subject to a buffer overflow, leading to arbitrary code execution. By entering a string larger than 4000 characters, it is possible to trigger the overflow. This results in Internet Explorer crashing when trying to copy 42424242 to a register. By disassembling near the crash location, it can be observed that both EAX and ECX can be manipulated with values 41414141 and 42424242 respectively. These manipulated values are later used to perform write operations, leading to an arbitrary 4 byte write.
Mitigation:
Apply the latest patch or update for the MW6MaxiCode Class component.
