HTTP: Cab File Multiple Vulnerabilities
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against multiple CAB file parsing programs. Attackers can send files or links to files containing hostile CAB files resulting in full control of the victim's computer.
Extended Description
A remote heap-overflow vulnerability exists in Sophos Anti-Virus Library when scanning CAB files. This issue is due to the library's failure to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying data to an internal memory buffer. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the application.
