Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ole API in the CQOle ActiveX control in cqole.dll in IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.1 before 7.1.1.9, 7.1.2 before 7.1.2.6, and 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web page that leverages a RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet function-prototype mismatch.

Desbordamiento de búfer en memoria dinámica en el API Ole en el control ActiveX CQOleen cqole.dll en IBM Rational ClearQuest v7.1.1 antes de v7.1.1.9, v7.1.2 antes de v7.1.2.6, y v8.0.0 antes de v8.0.0.2, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de una página modificada que aprovecha un desajuste de la función-prototipo RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Rational ClearQuest. 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 the CQOle ActiveX control. A function prototype mismatch in an ActiveX wrapper results in an extra argument to be pushed onto the stack, thereby misaligning the stack offset. When the function returns, it can be made to jump to a memory address provided via the ActiveX method call. This can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the browser.
