Descriptions

A certain ActiveX control in CSDWebInstaller.ocx in Cisco Secure Desktop (CSD) does not properly verify the signature of an unspecified downloaded program, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by spoofing the CSD installation process, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-0589.

Un determinado control ActiveX en CSDWebInstaller.ocx en Cisco Secure Desktop (CDS) no verifica correctamente la firma de un programa descargado no especificado, permitiendo a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por suplantación de identidad del proceso de instalación de CDS, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2010-0589.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Cisco Secure Desktop. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within CSDWebInstaller.ocx ActiveX control. The vulnerable Cisco-signed ActiveX control verifies the signing authority names in the certificate chain but fails to properly verify the digital signature of an executable file that is downloaded and executed by the Cisco Secure Desktop installation process. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the browser.
