Tom Sawyer Software’s GET Extension Factory, a component used for graph visualization applications, is installed on the remote Windows host. It may have been bundled with a third-party application, such as the VMware Infrastructure Client or Embarcadero ER / Studio XE2.
The installed version of this component has a vulnerability in that it does not initialize COM objects properly inside Internet Explorer, which leads to a memory corruption vulnerability.
If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into visiting a specially crafted web page, this issue could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code on the host subject to the user’s privileges.
