* 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.

* Apply hot fix B1285.
