DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in CA Host-Based Intrusion
Prevention System, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due an input validation error in the
"Save()" method of the "XMLSecDB.DIParser" ActiveX control
(UmxXmlSd.dll). This can be exploited to create an arbitrary file
using directory traversal specifiers and supply controlled content
via the "SetXml()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in UmxXmlSd version 1.5.0.263 and
reported in the following products:
* HIPS Management Server versions prior to 8.1.0.88.
* HIPS client versions prior to 1.6.450.

SOLUTION:
Apply RO26950 and set registry values. Please see the vendor's
advisory for more details.
