HTTP: Internet Explorer Infinite Array Sort Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Attackers can create a maliciously crafted Web page that, when opened using IE, causes the browser to execute an infinite JavaScript array sort. This operation can cause a denial of service (DoS) on the target host.
Extended Description
Microsoft Internet is prone to a vulnerability that may result in a browser crash. This issue is exposed when the browser performs an infinite JavaScript array sort operation. It is conjectured that this will only result in a denial of service and is not further exploitable to execute arbitrary code, though this has not been confirmed.
