This signature detects attempts to use an unsafe ActiveX control in Microsoft IE EDRAW. 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.
The EDraw Office Viewer Component ActiveX Control is prone to an arbitrary-file-delete vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to delete arbitrary files on the affected computer. Successful attacks can result in denial-of-service conditions.
