HTTP: Firefox Image Dragging
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox. An attacker can craft a malicious file that contains both valid image data and malicious code, which will be executed when the user double-clicks on the saved file.
Extended Description
Firefox 1.0 does not prevent the user from dragging an executable file to the desktop when it has an image/gif content type but has a dangerous extension such as .bat or .exe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended restriction and execute arbitrary commands via malformed GIF files that can still be parsed by the Windows batch file parser, aka "firedragging."
