product description:
"The DCS-5605 is a high performance camera for professional surveillance 
and remote monitoring. This network camera features motorized pan, 
tilt, and optical/digital zoom for ultimate versatility. The 10x optical 
zoom lens delivers the level of detail necessary to identify faces, license 
plate numbers, and other important details that are difficult to 
clearly distinguish using digital zoom alone"

background:
When browsing the device web interface, the user
is asked to install an ActiveX control to stream
video content. This control has the following settings:

Description: Camera Stream Client Control
File version: 1.0.0.4519
Binary path: C:\Program Files\NetworkSurveillanceAX\DcsCliCtrl.dll
ProgID: DcsCliCtrl.DCSStrmControl.1
GUID: {721700FE-7F0E-49C5-BDED-CA92B7CB1245}
Implements IObjectSafety: Yes
Safe For Scripting (IObjectSafety): True
Safe For Initialization (IObjectSafety): True


Vulnerability:
the ActiveX control exposes the SelectDirectory()
method which supports one optional argument.
See typelib:
..
/* DISPID=22 */
        /* VT_BSTR [8] */
        function SelectDirectory(
                /* VT_VARIANT [12] [in] */ $varDefPath 
                )
        {
                /* method SelectDirectory */
        }
..

This method suffers of a stack based buffer overflow vulnerability
because an unsafe lstrcpyW() call inside DcsCliCtrl.dll:

1007132D   8D4C24 34        lea ecx,dword ptr ss:[esp+34]
10071331   51               push ecx

An attacker could entice a remote user to browse a web
page to gain control of the victim browser, by passing an overlong string to 
the mentioned method and overwriting critical structures (SEH).

As attachment proof of concept code.

Note, to reproduce the wanted crash: 
when the SelectDirectory() method is called the
user is asked to select a destination folder for the stream recorder.
To set EIP to 0x0c0c0c0c select a folder of choice, then proceed.
When clicking Cancel you have an unuseful crash, however it could be
possible that modifying the poc you will have EIP overwritten aswell.


I think that it is also possible that other products might carry this dll,
I could post an update if I find more.
