HTTP: Unsafe Cisco Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera WVC200 ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use an unsafe ActiveX control. The Cisco Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera WVC200 ActiveX control 'PlayerPT.ocx' is vulnerable. A successful attack could result in arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

Cisco Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera WVC200 is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using an affected ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Cisco Wireless-G PTZ Internet Video Camera WVC200 1.0.0.15 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
