Title: HP Help and Support Center Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
HP Help and Support Center is a help tool for HP systems.
HP Help and Support Center is prone to an unspecified buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. This issue occurs when a user with the vulnerable software visits a malicious website. The issue may allow an attacker to execute remote code or read and write files to an affected PC.
Few technical details are available at the moment. We will update this BID as more information emerges.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
Versions prior to HP Help and Support Center 4.4 C are confirmed affected.
Affected Products:
- HP Help and Support Center 4.4
