{"vuid":"VU#788860","idnumber":"788860","name":"Trend Micro OfficeScan Management Console ActiveX control format string vulnerability","keywords":["Trend Micro","OfficeScan Corporate Edition","format string","ATXCONSOLE.OCX","ActiveX Control","OfficeScan Management Console"],"overview":"The Trend Micro OfficeScan Management Console ActiveX control, AtxConsole, contains a format string vulnerability. This vulnerability may be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code, or create a denial-of-service condition.","clean_desc":"Trend Micro's OfficeScan product includes a web-based management console. The management console uses an ActiveX control, which in turn interacts with CGI applications on the OfficeScan server. This ActiveX control, which has a CLSID of {8990AFAD-D352-42AC-A72F-A660BBF6E209}, contains a format string vulnerability. Note that any system that has used the vulnerable control in the past may be vulnerable.","impact":"By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an 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 update\nTrend Micro has addressed this issue in OfficeScan 7.3 Patch 1.","workarounds":"Disable the OfficeScan Management Console ActiveX control The AtxConsole ActiveX control can be disabled by setting the kill bit for the following CLSID: {8990AFAD-D352-42AC-A72F-A660BBF6E209} This may prevent the client from using the Management Console's web interface. More information about how to set the kill bit is available in Microsoft Support Document 240797. 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":"This report is based on information from Deral Heiland of \nLayered Defense","author":"This document was written by Ryan Giobbi.","public":["http://www.layereddefense.com/TREND01OCT.html","http://secunia.com/advisories/22224/","http://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/desktop/osce/evaluate/overview.htm","http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/securing_browser/","http://secunia.com/advisories/22156/"],"cveids":["CVE-2006-5157"],"certadvisory":"","uscerttechnicalalert":null,"datecreated":"2006-10-03T13:58:56Z","publicdate":"2006-10-02T00:00:00Z","datefirstpublished":"2006-10-11T19:12:55Z","dateupdated":"2006-11-08T13:18:26Z","revision":45,"vrda_d1_directreport":"0","vrda_d1_population":"2","vrda_d1_impact":"3","cam_widelyknown":"15","cam_exploitation":"0","cam_internetinfrastructure":"4","cam_population":"10","cam_impact":"15","cam_easeofexploitation":"4","cam_attackeraccessrequired":"18","cam_scorecurrent":"3.8475","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknown":"4.86","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknownexploited":"8.91","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":3.8475,"vulnote":null}
