CVE [?]: N/A
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:autodesk:design_review

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by a heap corruption vulnerability.

Description

The IDrop ActiveX control, a utility from Autodesk that provides the ability to drag and drop web content into a drawing session, is installed on the remote Windows host.

Manipulation of the control's 'Src', 'Background', and 'PackageXml' properties reportedly can be abused to trigger a heap-use-after-free condition. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into viewing a specially crafted HTML document, he can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected system subject to the user's privileges.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Remove the affected software as it reportedly is no longer supported by Autodesk.
