Microsoft Windows Zero-day Exploit in the Wild

A critical and unpatched vulnerability affecting Microsoft Windows is currently being exploited in the wild via various Chineese web sites.

The exploit takes advantage of a buffer overflow vulnerability in the "MSVidCtl.dll" ActiveX control and allows code execution via a specially crafted web page.

Until a patch is available, VUPEN recommends setting a kill bit for the CLSID {0955AC62-BF2E-4CBA-A2B9-A63F772D46CF}.

The in-depth binary analysis of the vulnerability and a remote code execution exploit are available through the VUPEN Exploits & PoCs Service.

Novell GroupWise Vulnerabilities Fixed

Novell released Hot Patches for GroupWise 7 and 8 to address multiple vulnerabilities which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security restrictions, conduct phishing attacks, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.

The most critical flaws were discovered by VUPEN Security and are buffer overflows affecting the Novell GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA). Exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges and is possible remotely and without authentication.
