CA Technologies support is alerting customers to a security risk associated with CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS). A vulnerability exists that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. CA Technologies has issued patches to address the vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to insecure method implementation in the XMLSecDB ActiveX control that is utilized in CA HIPS components and products. A remote attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code if he can trick a user into visiting a malicious web page or opening a malicious file. Versions prior to 8.1.0.88 are affected.

Zero Day Initiative Advisory 11-093 - This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of CA Internet Security Suite 2010. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The flaw exists within the XMLSecDB ActiveX control which is installed with HIPSEngine component. SetXml and Save methods are implemented insecurely and can allow creation of an arbitrary file on the victim's system. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user.
