Signature Detail

HTTP: Microsoft Office Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Microsoft Office. 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

Microsoft Visual Studio is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability in the Active Template Library (ATL). Remote attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an application built against the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
