This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Windows Object Packager. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking an unsuspecting victim into viewing a malformed file. Successful exploits can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the privileges of the user running the affected application. Note: This issue can also be exploited by embedding other file types such as Python ('.py') or '.jar' files, if the correct interpreter is installed on the vulnerable computer.
