SOFTWARE:
Acer LunchApp.APlunch ActiveX Control 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/12671/

DESCRIPTION:
Tan Chew Keong has reported a vulnerability in LunchApp.APlunch
ActiveX Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the LunchApp.APlunch ActiveX
Control control including the insecure "Run()" method, which executes
an arbitrary executable file taken as argument. This can be exploited
to execute arbitrary local programs with parameters on a user's
system via a specially crafted web site.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0.0.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not visit non-trusted websites or disable active scripting.
