HTTP: Microsoft Windows Graphics Rendering Engine WMF Parsing Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Graphics Rendering Engine (GRE) component of Microsoft Windows. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
Microsoft GDI+ is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the vector graphics linked library improperly allocates memory when parsing WMF image files. Successfully exploiting this issue would allow an attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user.
