Arbitrary Code Execution via ActiveX in PcVue SVUIGrd.ocx

IdentifiersCVE-2011-4042CWE-94

An unspecified vulnerability in the SVUIGrd.ocx ActiveX control used by ARC Informatique PcVue versions 6.0 through 10.0, as well as FrontVue and PlantVue, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is triggered when a crafted HTML document manipulates the ActiveX control to gain control of a function pointer, leading to code execution in the context of the user.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the target system with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable ActiveX control, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict access to the vulnerable ActiveX control by setting the kill bit in the Windows registry, or by configuring browser security settings to disable ActiveX controls. Limit user access to trusted sites and avoid opening untrusted HTML documents that could exploit the vulnerability.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the vendor-supplied patch or update to a non-vulnerable version of PcVue, FrontVue, or PlantVue. If a patch is not available, disable the affected ActiveX control (SVUIGrd.ocx) in Internet Explorer and restrict its use via kill bits or other ActiveX management techniques.
