This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Sun Java System Web Server. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Sun Java System Web Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. The issue affects the WebDAV functionality. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 7 and prior.
