Description:
Elazar Broad has discovered a vulnerability in HP Virtual Rooms Install, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the WebHPVCInstall.HPVirtualRooms14 ActiveX control (HPVirtualRooms14.dll) when handling strings assigned to various properties (e.g. "AuthenticationURL", "PortalAPIURL", "cabroot"). This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by assigning an overly-long string to an affected property.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in HPVirtualRooms14.dll version 1.0.0.100. Other versions may also be affected.
