Description

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.
