This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Visual Basic 6.0. An attacker can create a malicious Web page that contains dangerous ActiveX method calls, which if accessed by a victim, can allow the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
The Microsoft Visual Basic 6 TypeLib Information Library (TLI) ActiveX control is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a maliciously crafted HTML document. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
