HTTP: HP Instant Support ActiveX Control Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against HP Instant Support ActiveX control. An attacker can create a malicious Web page containing dangerous ActiveX calls, which if visited, can allow the attacker to gain control of the victim's system.
Extended Description
HP Instant Support ActiveX control is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the affected ActiveX control and possibly to compromise affected computers.
