HTTP: Microsoft DirectShow MPEG Layer-3 Audio Decoder Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known code execution vulnerability in Microsoft DirectShow DirectShow MPEG Layer-3 Audio Decoder. It is due to memory corruption while decoding specially crafted media files. An attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to process a malicious audio file. This can lead to memory corruption and the possibility of code execution in the context of the logged in user.
Extended Description
Microsoft MPEG Layer-3 audio decoder is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applicaiton fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. Successful exploits allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
