Multiple buffer overflows in the Provideo ActiveX controls allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted input fields, as demonstrated by (1) a long strIp argument to the voice method in 2way.dll in the alarm 1.0.3.1 ActiveX control, (2) a network response to AXPlayer.ocx in the GMAXPlayer 2.0.8.2 ActiveX control, the (3) UserName or (4) Password parameter to AXPlayer.ocx in the GMAXPlayer 2.0.8.2 ActiveX control, (5) a long Id parameter to the GetString method in PAxPlayer.ocx in the PAxPlayer 3.0.0.9 ActiveX control, or (6) a long strAdr parameter to the ConnectIPCam method in PAxPlayer.ocx in the PAxPlayer 3.0.0.9 ActiveX control.
CVE-2011-2591 is a security vulnerability that . Impacting 3 products from provideo, from provideo, from provideo organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Documented in 2011, this vulnerability occurred amid the cloud computing expansion era, where traditional network perimeter security models were being reevaluated. Organizations were transitioning from isolated infrastructure to interconnected systems, creating new attack surfaces that vulnerabilities like this could exploit.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For provideo's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
