HTTP: MW6 Barcode Unsafe ActiveX Control
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in MW6 Barcode (Barcode.dll). 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
MW6 Technologies Barcode ActiveX control is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to adequately check boundaries on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application (typically Internet Explorer) using the ActiveX control. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.
