Signature Detail

HTTP: Linksys WVC54GC ActiveX Control

This signature detects access to a vulnerable ActiveX control for managing Linksys WVC54GC devices. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX components, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.

Extended Description

Linksys WVC54GC NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2 Agent ActiveX Control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. WVC53GC with firmware versions prior to 1.25 that include the ActiveX control are vulnerable.
