APP: Icarus 'PGN' File Remote Stack Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Internet Chess Club client application called Icarus. A successful attack could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system. Failed exploit attempts could result in a denial of service condition.
Extended Description
Icarus is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. Icarus 2.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
