HP Info Center HPInfoDLL.DLL ActiveX Control Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities

HP Info Center HPInfoDLL.DLL ActiveX Control Multiple Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities

HP Info Center ActiveX control is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to run arbitrary code. The issues stem from insecure methods used within 'HPInfoDLL.dll'.

An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to visit a malicious HTML page.

Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to edit registry key information and execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

HP Info Center 1.0.1.1 with 'HPInfoDLL.dll' ActiveX control 1.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Note that multiple HP laptop models ship with this software.
