Title: LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite IRCBoot.DLL ActiveX Control Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

LANDesk Management Suite provides for the automation of systems management tasks for remotely controlled systems.

A problem has been identified in the handling of some types of requests by ActiveX controls installed with LANDesk Management Suite. Because of this, it may be possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable host.

The problem is in the handling of strings by the SetClientAddress() function. SetClientAddress() is implemented in IRCRBOOT.DLL with insufficient bounds checking. By supplying a string of excessive length to the function, it is possible to force the overwriting of sensitive process memory with attacker-supplied values.

A web page containing the CLSID of the vulnerable ActiveX control and a malicious string passed as an argument to the affected function, could potentially exploit this issue to execute code with the privileges of the browser user.

It should be noted that although this vulnerability has been reported to affect LANDesk Management Suite version 7.0 and previous versions, other versions might also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 6.0.0
  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 6.4.0
  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 6.62.0
  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 6.63.0
  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 7.0.0
  • LANDesk Software LANDesk Management Suite 8.0.0
