SHELLCODE: Prepend Encoder Routine Detection Over HTTP (3)

This signature detects improper or malformed HTTP server responses that are lacking a HTTP status code. Section 10 of RFC2616 defines the correct HTTP status codes. This may be an indication of tunneling, an IPS evasion attempt or other malicious activity and should be investigated.

Extended Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in Foxit Reader before 2.3 build 2912 allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PDF file, related to the util.printf JavaScript function and floating point specifiers in format strings.
