HTTP: SonicWALL SSL VPN Client Remote ActiveX Vulnerabilities

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in SonicWALL SSL VPN Client. The attacker can create malicious Web pages containing dangerous ActiveX calls, which if accessed by a victim, can allow the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.

Extended Description

SonicWALL SSL VPN Client is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities. The issues occur in different ActiveX controls and include arbitrary-file-deletion and multiple stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application and delete arbitrary files on the client's computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect SonicWALL SSL VPN 1.3.0.3 software as well as WebCacheCleaner 1.3.0.3 and NeLaunchCtrl 2.1.0.49 ActiveX controls; other versions may also be vulnerable.
