The RealNetworks RealArcade platform includes an ActiveX control (InstallerDlg.dll, version 2.6.0.445) that exposes a method named Exec via the StubbyUtil.ProcessMgr COM object. This method allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's Windows machine without proper validation or restrictions. This platform was sometimes referred to or otherwise known as RealArcade or Arcade Games and has since consolidated with RealNetworks' platform, GameHouse.

Multiple instances of this vulnerability (Unsafe ActiveX Control Marked Safe For Scripting) have been identified in the third-party ActiveX object provided to GE iFIX versions 2.0 - 5.8 by Gigasoft. Only the independent use of the Gigasoft charting package outside the iFIX product may expose users to the reported vulnerability. The reported method shown to impact Internet Explorer is not exposed in the iFIX product, nor is the core functionality of the iFIX product known to be impacted.
