Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Logitech VideoCall ActiveX Controls

IdentifiersCVE-2007-2918CWE-121

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist in several ActiveX controls used by Logitech VideoCall, specifically in VibeC (vibecontrol.dll), CallManager and ViewerClient (StarClient.dll), ComLink (uicomlink.dll), and WebCamXMP (wcamxmp.dll). These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (browser crash) or execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, likely through crafted input to the affected ActiveX controls.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the browser, potentially leading to full system compromise. Alternatively, exploitation may result in a denial of service by crashing the browser.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict the use of ActiveX controls in the browser, especially those associated with Logitech VideoCall. Use browser security settings or group policy to disable or restrict ActiveX execution. Employ network-level protections to block malicious content targeting these controls.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply vendor-supplied patches or updates that address the buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the affected ActiveX controls. If patches are unavailable, consider disabling or unregistering the vulnerable ActiveX controls.

logitechvideocall_start.rbMaturityWeaponizedFrameworkmetasploitVerified exploit

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting a stack buffer overflow vulnerability in the Logitech VideoCall ActiveX Control (wcamxmp.dll version 2.0.3470.448), identified as CVE-2007-2918. The exploit is delivered via a malicious HTTP server that serves a crafted HTML page with embedded JavaScript. When a vulnerable client visits the page, the script instantiates the vulnerable ActiveX control using its CLSID and calls the Start() method with an overly long string, triggering the buffer overflow and executing attacker-supplied code. The module allows for customizable payloads (default 800 bytes) and is designed for Windows XP Pro SP2 English. The main file is written in Ruby and leverages Metasploit's HttpServer::HTML mixin to serve the exploit. The repository is operational and provides a working exploit for remote code execution via browser-based attack vectors.
