CA20110223-01: Security Notice for CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention 
System

Issued: February 23, 2011
Updated: February 24, 2011


CA Technologies support is alerting customers to a security risk 
associated with CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS). A 
vulnerability exists that can allow a remote attacker to execute 
arbitrary code.  CA Technologies has issued patches to address the 
vulnerability.

The vulnerability, CVE-2011-1036, is due to insecure method 
implementation in the XMLSecDB ActiveX control that is utilized in CA 
HIPS components and products. A remote attacker can potentially execute 
arbitrary code if he can trick a user into visiting a malicious web 
page or opening a malicious file.

How to determine if the installation is affected 
HIPS Management Server is vulnerable if the version number is less than 
8.1.0.88.

HIPS client sources are vulnerable if the build number is less than 
1.6.450.

CA Internet Security Suite (ISS) 2010 is vulnerable if the ISS product 
version is equal to or less than 6.0.0.285 and the HIPS version is
