HTTP: Foxmail Email Client mailto Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Foxmail Email Client. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution.
Extended Description
Foxmail Email Client is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Foxmail Email Client 6.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
