2X ApplicationServer 10.1 TuxSystem Class ActiveX Control TuxScripting.dll 
ExportSettings Remote File Overwrite Vulnerability

tested against: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 r2 sp2
                Internet Explorer 8

vendor description:
"2X Software is a global leader of desktop and application delivery, 
remote access and cloud computing solutions."

2x homepage: http://www.2x.com/

download url: http://www.2x.com/applicationserver/download/

file tested: 2XAppServer.msi


Background:

The mentioned product installs an ActiveX control with
the following settings:

ProgID: TuxScripting.TuxSystem.1
CLSID: {5BD64392-DA66-4852-9715-CFBA98D25296}
Binary Path C:\Program Files\2X\ApplicationServer\TuxScripting.dll
Implements IObjectSafety: Yes
Safe for Scripting: True
Safe for Initialization: ?

According to the IObjectSafety interface this control is Safe for Scripting
then Internet Explorer will allow access to the availiable methods and
properties.


Vulnerability:

Two methods perform unsecure file operations (read/write):

...
/* DISPID=13 */
	function ImportSettings(
		/* VT_BSTR [8]  */ $FileName 
		)
	{
		/* method ImportSettings */
	}
	/* DISPID=14 */
	function ExportSettings(
		/* VT_BSTR [8]  */ $FileName 
		)
	{
		/* method ExportSettings */
	}
...

by passing an existing file path to the ExportSettings() the
resulting file content will look like this:

<Setup xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes"><Connection><CGW_FGWs dt:d
t="string">&lt;Default&gt;</CGW_FGWs><CGW_HTTPs dt:dt="string">&lt;Default&gt;</

tup>

If a remote attacker is able to take control of the file content, could also be 
capable to run arbitrary code. At the time of this report, this could not be achieved yet
(I have experienced some unuseful crashes by calling ImportSettings() ...)
