This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Multiple Anti-Virus products. Attackers can bypass the security restrictions of a system allowing the attacker to carry on future attacks on the victim's computer.
Multiple vendor anti-virus software is prone to a detection evasion vulnerability. The problem presents itself in the way various anti-virus software determines the type of file it is scanning. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to pass malicious files passed the anti-virus software. This results in a false sense of security, and ultimately could lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the victim user's machine.
