Signature Detail

HTTP: Microsoft Windows Embedded OpenType Font Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows Embedded OpenType Font. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.

Extended Description

Microsoft Windows is prone to a remotely exploitable heap-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Remote attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable software on the targeted user's computer.
