HTTP: Novell Client Unsafe ActiveX Control
This signature detects attempts to use an unsafe ActiveX control in Novell Client. 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
The Novell Client ActiveX control is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because of an unspecified error. A successful attack allows a remote attacker to crash an application that is using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer), denying further service to legitimate users. Novell Client 4.91.5.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
