Title: RETIRED: Mircrosoft Rich TextBox Control 'richtx32.ocx' ActiveX Insecure Method Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Mircrosoft Rich TextBox Control is an ActiveX control used to display, enter, and format text.

This issue affects the 'SaveFile()' method of the 'richtx32.ocx' ActiveX control (CLSID: B617B991-A767-4F05-99BA-AC6FCABB102E).
Successful exploits will compromise affected computers or cause denial-of-service conditions; other attacks are possible.
This issue affects 'richtx32.ocx' 6.1.97.82; other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: This BID is being retired because the issue is not exploitable. The ActiveX control is not marked 'Safe for Scripting'.
