Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in SPIDERLib.Loader
ActiveX control (Spider90.ocx) 9.1.0.4353 installed by TestDirector (TD)
for Hewlett-Packard Mercury Quality Center 9.0 before Patch 12.1, and
8.2 SP1 before Patch 32.
By setting an overly long value to 'ProgColor', an attacker can overrun
a buffer and execute arbitrary code.
