APP: Microsoft PGM Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft's Pragmatic Multicast Control. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
Microsoft Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check externally supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code, facilitating a complete system compromise. This issue affects systems only when Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) 3.0 is installed; this is not the default.
