HTTP: Awingsoft Winds3D Viewer ActiveX

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the Awingsoft Winds3D Viewer Component. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.

Extended Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the WindsPlayerIE.View.1 ActiveX control in WindsPly.ocx 3.5.0.0 Beta, 3.0.0.5, and earlier in AwingSoft Awakening Web3D Player and Winds3D Viewer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long SceneUrl property value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2386. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
