Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HP Quick Launch Button versions 6.3 and earlier HP Info Center version 1.0.1.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via the first argument to the LaunchApp method in the HPInfoDLL.HPInfo.1 ActiveX control. This can be done by exploiting an absolute path traversal vulnerability in the HPInfoDLL.dll. It's worth noting that on Windows Vista, only a user-assisted attack is possible.

Recommendations For HP Quick Launch Button versions 6.3 and earlier, consider disabling the LaunchApp method until a patch is available. For HP Info Center version 1.0.1.1, restrict access to the HPInfoDLL.dll to minimize the risk of exploitation.
