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.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
