HTTP: Dangerous ClassID in ActiveX Object Type 63
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Internet Explorer. A malicious Web site containing dangerous ActiveX CLSID references, can exploit this vulnerability and gain control of the client browser.
Extended Description
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that is exposed when certain COM objects are instantiated as ActiveX controls. A malicious webpage could pass content to these objects to trigger memory corruption.
