HTTP: Malformed Microsoft Visual Basic Project File
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Visual Basic. A victim can download a malformed Visual Basic Project (VBP) file, resulting in a buffer overflow. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
