HTTP: Ultra Office Unsafe ActiveX Control
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX control in Ultra Office. 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
Ultra Office Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of an application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Ultra Office Control 2.0.2008.501 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
