Signature Detail

HTTP: Autodesk I-Drop Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Autodesk I-Drop. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.

Extended Description

Autodesk IDrop ActiveX control is prone to multiple heap-based memory-corruption vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that invoked the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Autodesk IDrop ActiveX control 17.1.51.160 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
