Re: Acer puts Active X hole on laptops

NG,

Okay, you've confused me. (Really, not that hard to do!)

I'm pretty sure that LunchAPP.APlunch is the ActiveX control in question. I've found a site where on 11/19/06 Tan Chew Keong presented information:
»vuln.sg/acerlunchapp-en.html

He only tested on two Acer notebooks as that was all he had access to. He does provide some test code that launches calc.exe.

Also, I found this:
»nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2006-6121

Yup and I see all of the links out there about a lunchapp thingie all points to his info..or others who just linked to or copied his warning...BUT since I myself do not have one of those laptops..and since [LaunchApp] Alaunch is surely part of Acer stuff..I am trying to figure out myself if he just has a 'typo' in his write up..and he really mean Launch...or he did find a lunch and it is not even part of Acer stuff and might be a bad boy..so hope that someone who has an Acer laptop can really confirm it is lunch for the activeX..since to me that would be very strange.
