This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in CA eTrust Intrusion Detection CallCode. An attacker can create a malicious Web page containing dangerous ActiveX Calls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the victim's client browser.
Computer Associates eTrust Intrusion Detection is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
