Description Preview
This CVE describes a buffer overflow in blaxxun 3D 7.0 that enables remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a long URL property inside an object tag. The vulnerability was publicly disclosed in 2004 and could be triggered by specially crafted content delivered to the affected application, potentially without user interaction. The issue is specific to blaxxun 3D 7.0 and corresponds to remote code execution via manipulation of an object tag’s URL property.
Overview
This vulnerability (CVE-2004-1903) involves a buffer overflow in blaxxun 3D 7.0 that permits remote code execution when a malicious long URL property is used within an object tag. Publicly disclosed in 2004, the flaw enables an attacker to run arbitrary code on a vulnerable system by delivering crafted content, highlighting a critical remote exploit path in the affected component.
Remediation
- Check with the vendor for a patched or fixed version of blaxxun 3D and apply the update if available. If a patched version exists, upgrade to it and test to confirm the vulnerability is mitigated.
- If no patch is available, disable or remove the affected feature or component (blaxxun 3D 7.0) from environments where it is not strictly required.
- Implement mitigations at the network or host level, such as filtering or restricting long URL parameters in object tags and applying strict input validation for content that can be rendered or executed.
- Enforce compensating controls: limit exposure by isolating the component, applying least-privilege access, and monitoring for exploit attempts or unusual activity related to object tag handling.
- Stay informed with vendor advisories and security bulletins; if the software cannot be upgraded, consider decommissioning or replacing the affected product with a supported alternative.
