Description:
Max Gipehtykrop has discovered two vulnerabilities in BlooMooWeb's ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
1) The "BW_DownloadFile()" method allows a web site to download a file from an arbitrary URL into an arbitrary location on a user's system.
2) The "BW_LaunchGame()" method allows a web site to run the main executable of BlooMooWeb.
Combining the use of these two insecure methods allows downloading and overwriting the main BlooMooWeb executable with a malicious file and then run it.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Remove the files associated with the BlooMooWeb ActiveX control.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Max Gipehtykrop, German Reverse Force.
Changelog:
2006-11-08: Added CVE reference.
