This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in VMWare. An attacker can create a malicious Web site with Web pages containing dangerous ActiveX calls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Multiple VMware ActiveX controls are prone to multiple unspecified security issues. Very little information is known about these issues. We will update this BID as soon as more information becomes available.
