Hewlett Packard · Magview Activex Control · CVE-2007-2656
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Hewlett-Packard (HP) Magview ActiveX control version 1.0.0.309
**Description**
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the Hewlett-Packard (HP) Magview ActiveX control, which can be triggered by passing a long argument to the `DeleteProfile` method. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, and potentially have other impacts.
**Recommendations**
For version 1.0.0.309, consider disabling the `DeleteProfile` method as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the hpqvwocx.dll module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `DeleteProfile` method with long arguments in the affected ActiveX control until the issue is resolved.
