This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Httpdx and other Web servers. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
httpdx is prone to a remote format-string vulnerability. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected server. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. httpdx 1.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
