Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Symantec Altiris ConsoleUtilities ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the ConsoleUtilities ActiveX control (AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll). This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long argument passed to the "BrowseAndSaveFile()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll version 6.0.0.1846, Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x, Symantec Altiris Notification Server 6.0.x, and Symantec Management Platform 7.0.x.
