HTTP: IBM Lotus iNotes Upload Module ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX control in IBM Lotus iNotes. 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.
Extended Description
IBM Lotus iNotes Upload Module ActiveX Control is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds check user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of an application (typically Internet Explorer) that uses the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. IBM Lotus iNotes 8.5, 8.5.1, 8.5.2 and 8.5.3 are vulnerable.
