This signature detects the steam:// URI being used on a public web server. There are multiple vulnerabilities in the Valve Steam client's handling of steam:// URI's that could result in arbitrary code execution. This URI method is designed to only be used locally, and should not normally be seen used over the Internet. Non-malicious usage is possible, however, as some "Clan Servers" also can include links to start Steam games (such as Team Fortress 2) that then automatically connect to that clan's server.
