HTTP: Microsoft Media Player Malformed Media File
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in Microsoft Media Player. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a specially crafted media file that is hosted on a website or sent as an email attachment. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user.
Extended Description
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling a specially crafted media file. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to view a webpage containing malicious content or to open a malicious media file. Successful exploits will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
