APP: Symantec Antivirus Intel Alert Handler Service Denial of Service (1)
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Symantec's Antivirus Intel Alert Handler service. It is due to an input validation error when handling the arguments passed in AMS messages sent to the affected service. An attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted packet, containing a malicious size value, to the target service. A successful attack can result in termination of the affected service, causing a denial-of-service condition.
