Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in HouseCall and Damage Cleanup Server (DCS), which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the ActiveX control installed on a user's system. This can be exploited by supplying an overly long, specially crafted string value in a <param> tag, which will cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation may result in execution of arbitrary code on the user's system but requires that the user is tricked into visiting a malicious web site.
The vulnerability affects the following products:
- HouseCall version 5.7 (English)
- HouseCall version 5.5 (English and Simplified Chinese)
- Damage Cleanup Server version 1.0 (English)
Solution:
Trend Micro has released an updated ActiveX control.
User's can update this automatically at:

Administrators of HouseCall or DCS products should follow the procedure in the original advisory.
