Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#194505Symantec AppStream LaunchObj ActiveX control vulnerable to arbitrary code download and executionOverviewThe Symantec AppStream LaunchObj ActiveX control contains methods that can be used to download and execute arbitrary code.I. DescriptionSymantec AppStream is an application deployment framework for Microsoft Windows. One of the components of the AppStream Windows Client is an ActiveX control that is provided by launcher.dll. This ActiveX control is marked Safe for Scripting in Internet Explorer and contains a number of unsafe methods, such as installAppMgr(), which can be used to download and execute arbitrary code.II. ImpactBy 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.III. SolutionApply an updateThis issue is resolved in the Symantec AppStream Client 5.2.2 SP3 MP1. This version of the client software provides version 5.2.2.865 of the LaunchObj ActiveX control, which performs additional validation of downloaded files. Please see Symantec Advisory SYM09-001 for more details.
