This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Monkey_HTTP_Daemon . A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the Monkey_HTTP_Daemon.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the mk_request_header_process function in mk_request.c in Monkey HTTP Daemon (monkeyd) before 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP header.
