This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer. An attacker can create a malicious Web page that contains dangerous Active X calls, which if accessed by a victim, can allow the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Microsoft Office 2000 UA ActiveX Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. 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 likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
