HTTP: ISIS Papyrus AFP Viewer Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in ISIS Papyrus AFP Viewer. 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
