Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2007-04-02
Patch Published: 2007-04-02
CVE [?]: CVE-2007-1819
CPE [?]: N/A

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an ActiveX control that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running Mercury Quality Center, a web-based solution for automatic software testing.

The version of Quality Center installed on the remote host hosts an ActiveX control affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability and will serve up a copy of that control if a connecting client does not have the control or has an older version of it. In this way, the remote host could be used as a vector for propagating the control, which might then be exploited remotely to execute arbitrary code on other hosts.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch referenced in the vendor advisory above to the Quality Control server on the remote host.
