Descriptions

The ISList.ISAvi ActiveX control in AdminStudio in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.2, 10.3, and 11 SP1 provides access to the mscomct2.ocx file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging unspecified mscomct2 flaws.

El control ActiveX ISList.ISAvi en AdminStudio en Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) v10.2, v10.3, 11 y SP1 permite el acceso al expediente Mscomct2.ocx, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección aprovechándose de fallos no especificados de mscomct2.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell ZENWorks. 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 due to the inclusion and usage of an antique ActiveX control (mscomct2.ocx: Tue Mar 14 18:39:28 2000). Though mscomct2.ocx has been killbitted, it is accessed by ZENWorks via an intermediate control (ISList.ISAvi) which is scriptable. Multiple vulnerabilities in mscomct2.ocx can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the host system in the context of the browser.
