This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in AXIS Communications Camera Control ActiveX control, AxisCamControl.ocx. An attacker can create a malicious Web site with Web pages containing dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
AXIS Camera Control ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Axis Camera Control 2.40.0.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be vulnerable.
