So, concerning the exploitation achievement, which would be the worst
consequence,
forget about that heap memory overflow and just worry about tricking
the user into loading malicious web content.

Easier, huh?

  - AXIS Camera Control "image_pan_tilt" Property Buffer Overflow -

======================================================================
======================================================================
4) Description of Vulnerability

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
CamImage.CamImage.1 ActiveX control (AxisCamControl.ocx) and can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by assigning an overly
long string to the "image_pan_tilt" property.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into visiting and clicking a
malicious web page.
