The Windows remote host contains the eGatherer ActiveX control, which is typically installed by default on IBM workstations and laptops and used for automatically locating drivers and updates on IBM / Lenovo support sites.

The version of this ActiveX control on the remote host reportedly contains a stack-based buffer overflow in the ‘RunEgatherer’ function.
Exploitation of this issue may allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code subject to the user’s privileges.
