Title: HP Mercury Quality Center ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
HP Mercury Quality Center is a web-based system for automated software QA.
HP Mercury Quality Center ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Specifically, the vulnerability resides in the 'ProgColor' property of the 'Program Files\Spider90.ocx' control with CLSID:{ 98C53984-8BF8-4D11-9B1C-C324FCA9CADE}. When this property is set to an excessively large value, the overflow occurs.
Attackers may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening malicious HTML content that instantiates the affected control.
Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the affected ActiveX control and possibly to compromise affected computers.
HP Mercury Quality Center 8.2 SP1 and 9.0 are vulnerable to this issue.
Affected Products:
- Gentoo www-apps/roundup 1.4.4
- HP Mercury Quality Center 8.2.SP1
- HP Mercury Quality Center 9.0
