DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in Dell
DellSystemLite.Scanner ActiveX control, which can be exploited by
malicious people to disclose various information.
1) An input validation error in the "GetData()" method can be
exploited to disclose the contents of arbitrary text files via
directory traversal specifiers passed in the "fileID" parameter.
2) The unsafe property "WMIAttributesOfInterest" allows assigning
arbitrary WMI Query Language (WQL) statements and can be exploited to
e.g. disclose system information like installed software.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in DellSystemLite.ocx version
1.0.0.0. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Dmitriy Pletnev, Secunia Research.
