activePDF WebGrabber ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow
This module exploits a stack buffer overflow in activePDF WebGrabber 3.8. When sending an overly long string to the GetStatus() method of APWebGrb.ocx (3.8.2.0) an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code. This control is not marked safe for scripting, so choose your attack vector accordingly.
