ActiveX Vulnerability Pwns MySpace, Facebook users

"A buffer overflow enabled hackers to exploit the Aurigma ActiveX image
uploading software used by Facebook, MySpace and other social
networking sites, " said Rachwald.

"The bad news is that this exploit is being used in a hacker
toolkit currently being offered for download on several Chinese
language sites, meaning that novices have been able to stage these
attacks, and not just professional hackers."
