CVE-2007-1891 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Stack-based buffer overflow in the GetPrivateProfileSectionW function in Akamai Technologies Download Manager ActiveX Control (DownloadManagerV2.ocx) after 2.0.4.4 but before 2.2.1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, related to misinterpretation of the nSize parameter as a byte count instead of a wide character count.. EPSS estimates a 6.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
