HTTP: IBM Access Support Unsafe ActiveX Method
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in IBM Access Support. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Extended Description
IBM eGatherer ActiveX is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability requires a certain amount of user-interaction for an attack to occur, such as visiting a malicious website. A successful exploit would allow a remote attacker to execute code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Versions prior to IBM eGatherer ActiveX 3.20.0284.0 are vulnerable.
