Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2011-3174 is a buffer overflow in an InstallShield ISGrid ActiveX control bundled with Novell ZENworks Configuration Management AdminStudio versions 10.2, 10.3, and 11 SP1. The reported impact is remote arbitrary code execution through an overly long replacement-text parameter. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems where this ActiveX control remains installed and usable. Organizations with legacy Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 10.2, 10.3, or 11 SP1 AdminStudio installations may be exposed. Risk depends on whether ISGrid2.dll and the ISGrid.Grid2.1 ActiveX control are present, enabled, and reachable by attacker-controlled content or workflows. Treat this as a legacy remote code execution risk. It deserves priority where affected ZCM AdminStudio systems remain in production or on administrator workstations. The urgency is lower where the product is absent, retired, or isolated, because no active exploitation is cited in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory affected ZCM AdminStudio versions and systems.; Check Novell vendor guidance for fixed versions or workarounds.; Remove or disable the vulnerable ActiveX control where unused..
