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 a vulnerability that lets attackers overwrite files. An attacker can exploit this issue to overwrite files with arbitrary, attacker-controlled content. This will aid in further attacks. Version 5.1 of the control is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
