This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the Novell GroupWise Client. 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 client in Novell GroupWise 8.0 before 8.0.3 HP2 and 2012 before SP1 HP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference) via unspecified vectors.
