TITLE:
Symantec Altiris ConsoleUtilities ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37229

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37229/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Symantec Altiris
ConsoleUtilities ActiveX control, which can be exploited by malicious
people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
ConsoleUtilities ActiveX control (AeXNSConsoleUtilities.dll). This
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly
long argument passed to the "BrowseAndSaveFile()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

6.0.0.1846, Symantec Altiris Deployment Solution 6.9.x, Symantec
Altiris Notification Server 6.0.x, and Symantec Management Platform
