This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Web servers on Intel x86 platforms. Attackers can use the "No-Op Slide" attack to pad the stack with "No Operation" x86 CPU instructions and overwrite the return address.
Large amounts of values that represent No-Ops in a data stream may represent a buffer overflow attempt.
