HTTP: Aurigma Image Uploader Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Aurigma Image Uploader. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX calls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.

Extended Description

Aurigma Image Uploader ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue may allow 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. Image Uploader 4.5.70.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. NOTE: This issue may be related to the issues covered in BID 27533 (MySpace Uploader 'MySpaceUploader.ocx' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow) and BID 27534 (Facebook Photo Uploader 4 'ImageUploader4.1.ocx' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability).
