DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in IBM SPSS SamplePower, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors in the
VsVIEW6 ActiveX Control (VsVIEW6.ocx) when handling the "SaveDoc()"
and "PrintFile()" methods. No further information is currently
available.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.0.

SOLUTION:
As a workaround the vendor recommends to set the kill-bit for the
affected ActiveX control.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Andrea Micalizza aka rgod via ZDI.
