TITLE: Gateway CWebLaunchCtl ActiveX Control "DoWebLaunch()" Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA28379
VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/28379/
CRITICAL: Highly critical
IMPACT: System access
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE: Gateway CWebLaunchCtl ActiveX Control 1.x http://secunia.com/product/17132/
DESCRIPTION: Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Gateway CWebLaunchCtl ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A boundary error in the WebLaunch.WeblaunchCtl.1 ActiveX control (weblaunch.ocx) can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing overly-long strings as arguments to the "DoWebLaunch()" method.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Independently discovered by: * Will Dormann, CERT/CC * Elazar
