Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in various SupportSoft ActiveX controls, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the SmartIssue, RemoteAssist, and Probe ActiveX controls. These can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows via overly long arguments passed to various methods.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code but requires that the user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities reportedly affect versions 5.5, 5.6, and 6.x.
