TITLE:
CSS Web Installer ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38844

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38844/

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in CSS Web Installer
ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors when parsing
arguments to the "InstallProduct()", "InstallProduct1()", and
"InstallProduct2()" methods. This can be exploited to cause
heap-based and stack-based buffer overflows via overly long
arguments.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.4.0.20327 and at least
one is also reported in version 1.4.9508.605. Other versions may also
be affected.

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