DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in Oracle Hyperion Strategic
Finance, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"SetDevNames()" method of the Formula One ActiveX control
(TTF16.ocx). This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow via an overly long string passed e.g. in the "DriverName"
parameter.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 11.1.2.1.0 (TTF16.ocx
version 6.3.5.1).

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Andrea Micalizzi aka rgod.
