This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft FrontPage extensions in Windows 2000 and XP. Remote attackers can create a denial of service (DoS) or execute arbitrary code on the target host.
Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions are prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overrun vulnerability that is exposed via remote debugging functionality. It is possible to trigger this condition with a chunked-encoded HTTP POST request. This could be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system with Local System privileges.
