TITLE

McAfee Subscription Manager ActiveX control vulnerable to stack buffer overflow

Trust: 0.8

sources: CERT/CC: VU#481212

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in McSubMgr ActiveX control (mcsubmgr.dll) in McAfee Security Center 6.0.23 for Internet Security Suite 2006, Wireless Home Network Security, Personal Firewall Plus, VirusScan, Privacy Service, SpamKiller, AntiSpyware, and QuickClean allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via long string parameters, which are later used in vsprintf. McAfee SecurityCenter is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability requires a certain amount of user-interaction for an attack to occur, such as visiting a malicious website. A successful exploit would let a remote attacker execute code with the privileges of the currently logged in user. This issue is reported to affect versions 4.3 through 6.0.22. Please see the affected packages section for a list of McAfee consumer products that ship with vulnerable versions of the McAfee SecurityCenter. McAfee Subscription Manager (McAfee Subscription Manager) is a component released together with many McAfee products to manage product permissions. It is an ActiveX control, through which manufacturers can check the legality of product use. McSubMgr.dll, the implementation module of the product inspection manager, does not check the length of the incoming parameters. Remote attackers can lure users to visit malicious websites, and transmit data exceeding 3000 bytes to McSubMgr.dll in web scripts, resulting in stack overflow. to execute arbitrary commands.

Want to work with IDA and BinDiff? Want to write PoC's and Exploits? Your nationality is not important. We will get you a work permit, find an apartment, and offer a relocation compensation package. The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error and allows execution of arbitrary code. No more information is currently available. SOLUTION: Sufficient information about the vulnerability is not available to suggest a proper workaround.
