Synopsis

An ActiveX control installed on the remote Windows host can be abused to overwrite arbitrary files.

Description

The remote Windows host has a version of the McAfee Virtual Technician / ePolicy Orchestrator McHealthCheck.dll ActiveX control that allows arbitrary files to be corrupted / overwritten due to a flaw in the Save() method.

If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into viewing a specially crafted HTML document, this issue could potentially be leveraged to overwrite files, potentially leading to remote code execution.
