This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the Siemens SIMATIC WinCC RegReader. 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.
Buffer overflow in the RegReader ActiveX control in Siemens WinCC before 7.2, as used in SIMATIC PCS7 before 8.0 SP1 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long parameter.
