The version of the ListCtrl ActiveX control included with various CA products and installed on the remote host contains a buffer overflow that can be triggered by a long argument to the ‘AddColumn’ method.
If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into visiting a specially- crafted web page, this method could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the affected system subject to the user’s privileges.
