Signature Detail

HTTP: Chinagames Unsafe ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the Chinagames. 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

Chinagames ActiveX control is prone to a stack-based 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.
