This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Microsoft Zune 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.
Absolute path traversal vulnerability in a certain ActiveX control in Zune allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via the SaveToFile method. NOTE: the victim must explicitly allow the code to run.
