SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34326
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34326/
DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Garmin
Communicator Plug-In, which can be exploited by malicious people to
bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to a synchronisation error in the
GARMINAXCONTROL.GarminAxControl_t.1 ActiveX control (npGarmin.dll).
This can be exploited to bypass the domain locking and dialog box
presented to the user asking for confirmation that the untrusted site
may access private data.
Successful exploitation allows full access to any Garmin GPS products
connected to the user's system.
The vulnerability is confirmed in npGarmin.dll version 2.6.4.0. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
