Novell NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager NQMcsVarSet ActiveX DumpToFile() Remote Code Execution

medium Nessus Plugin ID 74261

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an ActiveX control that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control distributed with Novell NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager.

The installed control is reportedly affected by a remote code execution vulnerability with the DumpToFile method where it does not properly sanitize the path for a filename. This could allow a remote attacker, with a specially crafted file or site, to traverse the directories to execute arbitrary code.

Solution

Update Novell NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager to version 7.2 or later, or ensure the kill bit has been set for the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX Control.
