CVE-2008-2434
The Trend Micro HouseCall ActiveX control 6.51.0.1028 and 6.6.0.1278 in Housecall_ActiveX.dll allows remote attackers to download an arbitrary library file onto a client system via a "custom update server" argument.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.00%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
