CVE-2007-1403 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in an ActiveX control within SwDir.dll 10.1.4.20, part of Macromedia Shockwave. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service, specifically an Internet Explorer 7 crash, and potentially execute arbitrary code by providing excessively long values to several properties like BGCOLOR or SRC. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector and potential for complete compromise (C:P/I:P/A:P). While there is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild or Metasploit modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-3421) exists, and despite its high FAUCET Risk Score, it has received minimal community discussion or media coverage.
