Description

This module exploits a flaw in the McAfee Subscription Manager ActiveX control.
Due to an unsafe use of vsprintf, it is possible to trigger a stack buffer overflow by
passing a large string to one of the COM-exposed routines, such as IsAppExpired.
This vulnerability was discovered by Karl Lynn of eEye.
