CVE-2007-0325
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedMultiple buffer overflows in the Trend Micro OfficeScan Web-Deployment SetupINICtrl ActiveX control in OfficeScanSetupINI.dll, as used in OfficeScan 7.0 before Build 1344, OfficeScan 7.3 before Build 1241, and Client / Server / Messaging Security 3.0 before Build 1197, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisThe program reads or writes outside the bounds of an allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. With crafted input an attacker can overwrite control data and, with effort, redirect execution to their own code. Remediation ranges from bounds checking and safe library functions to compiler mitigations, usually alongside a careful audit of the surrounding code.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedOfficeScan 7.0 Build 1344 or later; OfficeScan 7.3 Build 1241 or later; Client Server Messaging Security 3.0 Build 1197 or later
- 1. Identify the currently installed Trend Micro OfficeScan or Client Server Messaging Security version and build number
- 2. For OfficeScan 7.0: Upgrade to Build 1344 or later
- 3. For OfficeScan 7.3: Upgrade to Build 1241 or later
- 4. For Client Server Messaging Security 3.0: Upgrade to Build 1197 or later
- 5. Alternatively, disable the vulnerable SetupINICtrl ActiveX control in Internet Explorer by adding it to the ActiveX kill bit list as a temporary mitigation until upgrade is completed
- 6. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the new build number matches or exceeds the fixed builds specified
