HTTP: Microsoft Office PICT Graphics Converter Remote Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Office. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

Microsoft Office is prone to a remote integer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into opening an Office document that contains a specially crafted PICT image. Successfully exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the privilege of the currently logged in user. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
