Title: HP Instant Support 'HPISDataManager.dll' 'ExtractCab' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
HP Instant Support is a suite of web-based support tools that automate the resolution of technical issues affecting HP products.
HP Instant Support 'HPISDataManager.dll' ActiveX control is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. The vulnerability affects the first argument of the 'ExtractCab()' method of the ActiveX control identified by CLSID:
14C1B87C-3342-445F-9B5E-365FF330A3AC
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
HP Instant Support 1.0.0.22 and earlier versions are affected.
