HTTP: VKPlayer mid File Processing Buffer Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in VKPlayer mid File. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the application.

Extended Description

VKPlayer is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. VKPlayer 1.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
