This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in IBM Rational Rhapsody. 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.
BB Flashback is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application (typically Internet Explorer) using the ActiveX control. BB Flashback versions prior to 2.0.0.214 are vulnerable.
