HTTP: Second Sight Software Unsafe ActiveX Controls Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls against Second Sight Software. 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
Second Sight Software ActiveGS and ActiveMod ActiveX controls are prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the affected ActiveX controls and to compromise affected computers. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
