{"vuid":"VU#714593","idnumber":"714593","name":"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot ActiveX control buffer overflow vulnerability","keywords":["McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator","buffer overflow","ActiveX Control","boundary error","VerifyPackageCatalog() method"],"overview":"A vulnerability in an ActiveX control provided with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot software could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.","clean_desc":"The McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot are applications that are designed to allow centralized security management of multiple clients. Remote management of the ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot servers are done through a management console. The ActiveX control SiteManager.Dll that is shipped with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot  contains two functions that are vulnerable to stack based buffer overflows. Note that SiteManager.Dll should only be installed on systems that have used the McAfee management console.","impact":"By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page, an HTML email message, or an HTML email attachment), a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. The attacker could also cause Internet Explorer (or the program using the WebBrowser control) to crash.","resolution":"Apply an upgrade\nMcAfee has released an upgrade to address this issue. See the \"McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) and ProtectionPilot (PRP) HotFixes fix multiple vulnerabilities\" security bulletin for details about obtaining updated software.","workarounds":"Disable ActiveX Disabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the Securing Your Web Browser document.","sysaffected":"","thanks":"Thanks to Fortinet Security Research and McAfee for information that was used in this report.","author":"This document was written by Ryan Giobbi.","public":["https://knowledge.mcafee.com/article/26/612496_f.SAL_Public.html","http://www.mcafee.com/us/enterprise/products/system_security_management/epolicy_orchestrator.html","http://www.mcafee.com/us/smb/products/management_solutions/protection_pilot.html","http://www.cert.org/homeusers/buffer_overflow.html","http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/securing_browser/#Internet_Explorer","http://secunia.com/advisories/24466/","http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2007-March/052960.html","http://securitytracker.com/alerts/2007/Mar/1017757.html","http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-1498","http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2007-03/0162.html","http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/22952"],"cveids":["CVE-2007-1498"],"certadvisory":"","uscerttechnicalalert":null,"datecreated":"2007-03-14T11:25:03Z","publicdate":"2007-03-13T00:00:00Z","datefirstpublished":"2007-03-22T12:40:21Z","dateupdated":"2007-03-22T14:09:31Z","revision":37,"vrda_d1_directreport":"0","vrda_d1_population":"3","vrda_d1_impact":"3","cam_widelyknown":"18","cam_exploitation":"0","cam_internetinfrastructure":"4","cam_population":"3","cam_impact":"19","cam_easeofexploitation":"17","cam_attackeraccessrequired":"15","cam_scorecurrent":"5.9956875","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknown":"6.54075","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknownexploited":"11.991375","ipprotocol":"","cvss_accessvector":"","cvss_accesscomplexity":"","cvss_authentication":null,"cvss_confidentialityimpact":"","cvss_integrityimpact":"","cvss_availabilityimpact":"","cvss_exploitablity":null,"cvss_remediationlevel":"","cvss_reportconfidence":"","cvss_collateraldamagepotential":"","cvss_targetdistribution":"","cvss_securityrequirementscr":"","cvss_securityrequirementsir":"","cvss_securityrequirementsar":"","cvss_basescore":"","cvss_basevector":"","cvss_temporalscore":"","cvss_environmentalscore":"","cvss_environmentalvector":"","metric":5.9956875,"vulnote":null}
