HTTP: Internet Explorer HTML Help Zone Bypass1
This signature detects attempts to invoke the HTML Help ActiveX control in a web page with the location of the help file set to a local file. If attackers have previously placed a help file on the local drive, they can use this exploit to execute code with user privileges on a target host running Microsoft Internet Explorer.
