APP: Computer Associates log_security Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the Computer Associates Log Security service. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary remote code execution. An exploit is currently available.

Extended Description

Computer Associates Message Queuing (CAM) is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform proper bounds checking on user-supplied data. A successful attack can cause the process's execution stack to overflow and may ultimately allow arbitrary code to run in the context of the affected application. This may allow an attacker to escalate their privileges to SYSTEM level.
