CVE ID	CVE-2015-0982
CVSS SCORE	7.5, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
AFFECTED VENDORS	Schneider Electric
AFFECTED PRODUCTS	DS-NVs
TREND MICRO CUSTOMER PROTECTION	Trend Micro TippingPoint IPS customers are protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID ['16546']. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS: http://www.tippingpoint.com
VULNERABILITY DETAILS	This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Schneider Electric DS-NVs. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the Rvctl.RVControl.1 ActiveX Control in rvctl.dll. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied string in the SetText method before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.
