APP: Avid Media Composer Remote Stack Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Avid Media Composer. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Extended Description
Avid Media Composer is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition. Avid Media Composer 5.5.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
