Description:
eEye Digital Security has reported some vulnerabilities in two IBM Access Support ActiveX controls, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) The IBM acpRunner Access Support ActiveX control includes some insecure methods ("DownLoadURL", "SaveFilePath", and "Download"), which allow a malicious web site to place a file in an arbitrary location on a user's system.
2) IBM eGatherer Access Support ActiveX control also includes some insecure methods ("GetMake", "GetModel", "GetOSName", "SetDebugging", and "RunEgatherer"), which may allow a malicious web site to place a file in an arbitrary location on a user's system.
The ActiveX controls are reportedly installed by default on many IBM PC models.
