CVE-2011-1719: Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the Web Viewer ActiveX controls in CA Output Management Web Viewer...

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the Web Viewer ActiveX controls in CA Output Management Web Viewer 11.0 and 11.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long SRC property value to the PPSViewer ActiveX control in PPSView.ocx before 1.0.0.7 or (2) a long Title property value to the UOMWV_Helper ActiveX control in UOMWV_HelperActiveX.ocx before 11.5.0.1.

Analyst readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2011-1719 is a legacy client-side code execution risk in CA Output Management Web Viewer ActiveX controls. A user with the vulnerable controls installed could be exposed if attacker-controlled content can set overly long control properties. The CVE names fixed control versions, but the provided evidence does not show active exploitation.

Executive priority

Prioritize this if the organization still uses CA Output Management Web Viewer or legacy ActiveX workflows. It is old, but code execution on user workstations can still create business impact where obsolete client software remains deployed.

Technical view

The CVE describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in CA Output Management Web Viewer 11.0 and 11.5 ActiveX controls: PPSViewer in PPSView.ocx before 1.0.0.7 and UOMWV_Helper in UOMWV_HelperActiveX.ocx before 11.5.0.1. Long SRC or Title property values can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on Windows endpoints or legacy browser environments where CA Output Management Web Viewer ActiveX controls are installed and allowed to run. Internet-facing servers are not the main concern based on the provided description; affected clients and administrative workstations are the key inventory target.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not include CISA KEV listing or other cited evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerability is remotely triggerable through vulnerable ActiveX properties, so realistic risk depends on whether users can load attacker-controlled content that invokes the installed controls.

Researcher notes

The provided CVE data identifies affected controls and version thresholds but lacks CVSS, CWE entries, proof of active exploitation, and detailed vendor remediation text. Treat product and version scoping as grounded in the CVE description, then verify against CA/Broadcom advisory records.

Mitigation direction

  • Update PPSView.ocx to 1.0.0.7 or later where PPSViewer is installed.
  • Update UOMWV_HelperActiveX.ocx to 11.5.0.1 or later where UOMWV_Helper is installed.
  • Review the CA security notice for supported remediation guidance.
  • Disable or restrict vulnerable ActiveX controls until vendor guidance is applied.
  • Remove unused CA Output Management Web Viewer client components from endpoints.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory CA Output Management Web Viewer 11.0 and 11.5 deployments.
  • Check endpoint control versions for PPSView.ocx and UOMWV_HelperActiveX.ocx.
  • Confirm browser policy does not allow obsolete vulnerable ActiveX controls.
  • Verify remediation against the CA advisory and CVE version thresholds.
  • Document any systems that cannot be upgraded and their compensating controls.
