high Nessus Plugin ID 26012

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by multiple issues.

Description

The remote host contains the Office Viewer Component, an ActiveX control for working with Microsoft Office documents.

The version of this control installed on the remote host contains a buffer overflow in its 'HttpDownloadFile' method that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code remotely if an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into visiting a specially crafted web page.

In addition, it also allows an attacker to delete arbitrary files via the 'DeleteLocalFile' method.

Solution

Upgrade to Office Viewer Component version 5 or later.
