DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered a vulnerability in Ubisoft CoGSManager
ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when constructing
the name of a language library file. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long bstrLanguage argument
passed to the "Initialize()" method.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.0.23. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
