This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Codesighs. A successful attack can lead to a stack-based overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Codesighs is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a malicious file. Successful exploits will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
