"Trend Micro HouseCall is an application for checking whether your computer has been infected by viruses, spyware, or other malware. HouseCall performs additional security checks to identify and fix vulnerabilities to prevent reinfection." Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Trend Micro HouseCall, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
Vulnerable Systems:
* Trend Micro HouseCall ActiveX Control version 6.51.0.1028
* Trend Micro HouseCall ActiveX Control version 6.6.0.1278
Immune Systems:
* Trend Micro HouseCall ActiveX Control version 6.6.0.1285
The vulnerability is caused by a use-after-free error in the HouseCall ActiveX control (Housecall_ActiveX.dll). This can be exploited to dereference previously freed memory by tricking the user into opening a web page containing a specially crafted "notifyOnLoadNative()" callback function.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
