This signature detects attempts to exploit flaws in XRL files. XRL file type is primarily associated with 'xRadio Player'. Standards are defined for representing a XRL file. Any deviation from it can be an indication of malicious activity. This kind of behavior is mostly noticeable from exploits created using Metasploit Framework.
xRadio is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. xRadio 0.95b, 0.9, and 0.5 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
