HTTP: Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Stack Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Library. 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 for Applications (VBA) is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because of an error related to searching for embedded ActiveX controls within a Microsoft Office document. An attacker could exploit this issue to corrupt stack memory and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts may crash applications that use VBA.
