Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in AdminStudio LaunchHelp.dll ActiveX control. The
LaunchProcess function found in LaunchHelp.HelpLauncher.1 allows remote attackers to run
arbitrary commands on the victim machine. This module has been successfully tested with the
ActiveX installed with AdminStudio 9.5, which also comes with Novell ZENworks Configuration
Management 10 SP2, on IE 6 and IE 8 over Windows XP SP 3.
