HTTP: Microsoft DirectX Crafted MJPEG Stream Handling Code Execution
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft DirectX. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
Microsoft DirectX is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application that uses DirectX. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. NOTE: Supported editions of Windows Server 2008 are not affected if installed using the Server Core installation option.
