Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in the ISCreateObject method in an ActiveX control in InstallShield\ISProxy.dll in AdminStudio in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.3 through 11.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary local DLL files via a crafted web page that also calls the Initialize method.

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en el método ISCreateObject en un control ActiveX en InstallShield\ISProxy.dll en AdminStudio in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) v10.3 hasta v11.2 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar archivos DLL locales a través de una página web manipulada para que también llame al método Initialize.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Novell ZENworks Admin Studio. 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 ISProxy.dll ActiveX object. The ISCreateObject() method suffers from a directory vulnerability and it is also possible to break the search path through a null char. By combining the Initialize() and ISCreateObject() methods, an attacker can force the underlying operating system to load arbitrary dlls bypassing normal security restriction. This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute code under the context of the process.
