This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the Chilkat Crypt Component. 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.
Chilkat Crypt ActiveX control is prone to a vulnerability that let attackers overwrite files with arbitrary, attacker-controlled content. Successful exploits will compromise affected computers and will aid in further attacks. Chikat Crypt ActiveX control 2.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
