HTTP: WinZip Command Line Unsafe Activex Control
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in WinZip. 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
WinZip is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker may exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service conditions and possibly to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application, but this has not been confirmed. This issue affects versions prior to 9.0 SR1.
