DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in Kofax
e-Transactions Sender, which can be exploited by malicious people to
manipulate certain data and compromise a user's system.

The application bundles a LEADTOOLS LEADSmtp ActiveX control with an
insecure "SaveMessage()" method, which allows to create or overwrite
arbitrary files. This can be exploited in combination with the
"TextualBody" property to create arbitrary files with controlled
content.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.5.3.1288 (LTCML14n.dll
version 14.0.0.34). Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the ActiveX control.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Originally reported by High-Tech Bridge SA as creation of files with
uncontrolled content via the "SaveMessage()" method.

Additional details regarding system compromise using controlled
content via the "TextualBody" property provided by Secunia Research.
