This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against AWStats. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
AWStats is prone to an arbitrary command-execution vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary shell commands in the context of the webserver process. This may help attackers compromise the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
