HTTP: Microsoft DirectX Media SDK DXTLIPI.DLL Exploit
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft DirectX Media SDK DXTLIPIDLL. An attacker can create a malicious Web page containing dangerous ActiveX calls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Extended Description
Microsoft DirectX Media SDK 'DXTLIPI.DLL' ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Microsoft DirectX Media SDK 6.0 with DXTLIPI.DLL 6.0.2.827 is reported vulnerable.
