TITLE

IBM and Lenovo Access Support acpRunner ActiveX control fails to restrict access to methods

DESCRIPTION

The IBM Lenovo Access Support acpRunner ActiveX control, as distributed in acpcontroller.dll before 1.2.8.0 and possibly acpir.dll before 1.0.0.9 (Automated Solutions 1.0 before fix pack 1), does not properly validate digital signatures of downloaded software, which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof a download. Lenovo Inline Automated Solutions ActiveX controls are prone to multiple vulnerabilities. An attacker may exploit these issues by enticing victims into opening a maliciously crafted HTML document. Failed exploit attempts may result in denial-of-service conditions. These issues affects versions prior to 'acpcontroller.dll' ActiveX control 1.2.8.0 and 'acpir.dll' ActiveX control 1.0.0.9. Automated Solutions is a software package of ActiveX tools installed on Lenovo and IBM computers. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 National Cyber Alert System Technical Cyber Security Alert TA07-226A Microsoft Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities Original release date: August 14, 2007 Last revised: -- Source: US-CERT Systems Affected * Microsoft Windows * Microsoft Internet Explorer * Microsoft Windows Media Player * Microsoft Office * Microsoft Office for Mac * Microsoft XML Core Services * Microsoft Visual Basic * Microsoft Virtual PC * Microsoft Virtual Server Overview Microsoft has released updates that address critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Office, Office for Mac, XML Core Services, Visual Basic, Virtual PC, and Virtual Server.
