TITLE:
Panda ActiveScan Control "Internacional" Property Heap Overflow
Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA11312
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/11312/
CRITICAL:
Highly critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE:
Panda ActiveScan Control 1.x
DESCRIPTION:
Rafel Ivgi has discovered a vulnerability in Panda ActiveScan
Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.
The Panda ActiveScan Control is a component installed by Panda
ActiveScan on a user's system the first time an online scanning is
performed. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within
the "ReportHebrew" object, which can be exploited to cause a heap
overflow by passing an overly long string to the "Internacional"
property.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code on a
user's system by e.g. tricking the user into visiting a malicious
website.
SOLUTION:
Delete the ActiveX component ("ascontrol.dll") from systems that have
been scanned by the online ActiveScan scanner.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
