HTTP: Microsoft Internet Explorer COM Object Instantiation Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Microsoft Internet Explorer COM Object. 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
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 6, and 7 uses certain COM objects from (1) Msb1fren.dll, (2) Htmlmm.ocx, and (3) Blnmgrps.dll as ActiveX controls, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different issue than CVE-2006-4697.
