Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in IBM SPSS Statistics up to 20.0.0.2-IF0007/21.0.0.2-IF0009/22.0.0.2-IF0010/23.0.0.3/24.0.0.0-IF0002. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function Initialize of the component ActiveX Control. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Initialize function in an ActiveX control in IBM SPSS Statistics 19 and 20 before 20.0.0.2-IF0008, 21 before 21.0.0.2-IF0010, 22 before 22.0.0.2-IF0011, 23 before 23.0.0.3-IF0001, and 24 before 24.0.0.0-IF0003 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument.

The weakness was shared 05/14/2016 with IXIA (Website). The advisory is shared at www-01.ibm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2015-8530 since 12/08/2015.
