HTTP: Cain & Abel Malformed rdp File Remote Code Execution
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Cain & Abel. A successful attack can lead to a denial-of-service condition and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Extended Description
Cain & Abel is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker 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. This issue affects Cain & Abel 4.9.24 and prior versions.
