Description:
Elazar Broad has discovered a vulnerability in Move Networks Upgrade Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the QMPUpgrade.Upgrade.1 ActiveX control (QMPUpgrade.dll) when handling arguments passed to the "Upgrade()" method. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly-long argument to the affected method.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in QMPUpgrade.dll version 1.0.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
