CyberLink Power2Go Essential 9.0.1002.0 – Registry SEH/Unicode Buffer Overflow
Power2Go uses registry keys to set various attributes including the registered username. The registered username is loaded into memory for display when the "About" screen is opened. These registry values can be found here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECyberLinkPower2Go99.0. It loads these values into memory without proper bounds checks which enables the exploit. To exploit, run created .reg file, open Power2Go, and click on Power2Go Logo in the upper left corner. Once the registry has been modified, this exploit will be persistent and execute every time the application is run and the "About" screen is opened.
Mitigation:
Apply the patch provided by the vendor.
