HTTP: Internet Explorer Dialog Box Manipulation

This signature detects downloads of maliciously crafted Web page elements. Remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in the way Internet Explorer displays download dialogs and accepts user input. This interaction could be in the form of certain keystrokes pressed when visiting a Web page. Another variant is also possible where a user is persuaded to double-click on an element of a Web page or select a custom dialog box placed on top of a real download dialog box.

Extended Description

Internet Explorer is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability through manipulation of custom dialog boxes. Keystrokes entered while one of these dialogs is displayed may be buffered and passed to a download dialog, allowing attacker-supplied code to be executed.
