The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error in the idrop.idrop.2 ActiveX control (IDrop.ocx) when handling the "Src", "Background", and "PackageXml" properties. This can be exploited to trigger a memory corruption by tricking the user into visiting a malicious webpage. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is reported in IDrop.ocx version 17.1.51.160. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control. NOTE: Reportedly, the vendor has ceased to provide support for the application.
