Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the DoFindReplace function in the ISGrid.Grid2.1 ActiveX control in InstallShield/ISGrid2.dll in AdminStudio in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.2, 10.3, and 11 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long bstrReplaceText parameter.

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la función DoFindReplace en el control ActiveX ISGrid.Grid2.1 en InstallShield/ISGrid2.dll en AdminStudio en Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) v10.2, v10.3, 11 y SP1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de un parámetro bstrReplaceText excesivamente largo.

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 within \Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\ISGrid2.dll. If the bstrReplaceText parameter exceeds its statically-allocated length then a buffer overflow will occur. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the system in the context of the user running the browser.
