HTTP: IBM SPSS SamplePower VsVIEW6.ocx Unsafe ActiveX Control
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in IBM SPSS SamplePower. 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 SPSS SamplePower is prone to multiple unspecified remote code-execution vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application (typically Internet Explorer) using the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0 is vulnerable.
