Discussion

CA BrightStor 'AddColumn()' ListCtrl.ocx ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The Unicenter DSM r11 List Control ATX ActiveX control, included with CA BrightStor ARCserve Backup, is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application running the control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
