Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-3460 is a directory traversal flaw in the DumpToFile method of the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control used by Agent Manager in NetIQ Sentinel. The public description says a remote attacker could create arbitrary files and, as a result, execute arbitrary code. The bundle does not provide CVSS, exact affected versions, or confirmed remediation details. Likely exposure is limited to legacy systems or workstations where NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager installed the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control. Environments that no longer use this component, block ActiveX, or have removed the control are less likely exposed. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete. Treat this as a high-priority legacy exposure review if NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager remains in use. The potential impact is code execution, but urgency depends on whether the ActiveX control is present and reachable. No active exploitation evidence is included in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Check the Novell/NetIQ advisory for version-specific fixes or workarounds.; Inventory systems for NetIQ Sentinel Agent Manager and the NQMcsVarSet ActiveX control.; Remove or disable the ActiveX control where it is not operationally required..
