HTTP: SaschArt SasCam Webcam Server ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in SaschArt SasCam Webcam Server. 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
SasCam Webcam Server ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that uses the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions. SasCam Webcam Server 2.6.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
