Signature Detail

HTTP: KingView Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX control in WellinTech KingView. 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

WellinTech KingView ActiveX control is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application, typically Internet Explorer, that uses the ActiveX control. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. KingView 6.53 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
