http://secunia.com/advisories/17639/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SunnComm MediaMax

DESCRIPTION:
J. Alex Halderman has reported a vulnerability in SunnComm MediaMax's
uninstallation ActiveX control, which potentially can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a design error in the
AxWebRemoveCtrl ActiveX control that is installed via Internet
Explorer when the user un-installs the MediaMax software by visiting
the vendor's website. This may be exploited to download and execute
code from an arbitrary URL.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
visiting a malicious website.

SOLUTION:
Remove the ActiveX control from the system if it is installed.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
