This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Apple CFNetwork Framework. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Apple CFNetwork Framework is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. Attackers may exploit this issue by issuing a maliciously designed HTTP response to a client application that uses the vulnerable CFNetwork API. Successful exploits will result in denial-of-service conditions within client applications. CFNetwork 129.19 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 is vulnerable to this issue.
