This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition, Symantec Client Security and Symantec Endpoint Protection. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
The AMS2 (Alert Management Systems 2) component of multiple Symantec products is prone to a remote command-execution vulnerability because the software fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM-level privileges, completely compromising affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
