The XML Security Database Parser class in the XMLSecDB ActiveX control in the HIPSEngine component in the Management Server before 8.1.0.88, and the client before 1.6.450, in CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) 8.1, as used in CA Internet Security Suite (ISS) 2010, allows remote attackers to download an arbitrary program onto a client machine, and execute this program, via vectors involving the SetXml and Save methods.

kmxIds.sys before 7.3.1.18 in CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) 8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via a malformed packet.

The kmxfw.sys driver in CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) r8, as used in CA Internet Security Suite and Personal Firewall, does not properly verify IOCTL requests, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted request.

Unspecified vulnerability in the kmxfw.sys driver in CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) r8, as used in CA Internet Security Suite and Personal Firewall, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors, related to "insufficient validation."

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Server component in CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) before 8.0.0.93 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via requests that are written to logs for later display in the log viewer.

Computer Associates Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) drivers (1) Core kmxstart.sys 6.5.4.31 and (2) Firewall kmxfw.sys 6.5.4.10 allow local users to gain privileges by using certain privileged IOCTLs to modify callback function pointers.
