HTTP: Alt-N Security Gateway Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Alt-N Security Gateway. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the Web server.
Extended Description
SecurityGateway is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. SecurityGateway 1.0.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
