This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in CrystalPlayer. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected user.
CrystalPlayer is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in a compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects CrystalPlayer 1.98; other versions may also be vulnerable.
