DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in IBM Rational ClearQuest, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a function prototype mismatch in
the "RegisterSchemaRepoFromFileByDbSet()" function in the IBM
Rational ClearQuest ActiveX control (cqole.dll). This can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by tricking a user
into visiting a malicious website.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 7.1.1 through 7.1.2.5, 8.0,
and 8.0.0.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version.
