This signature detects attempts to exploit the vulnerable passwd.php3 cgi-bin script in the Piranha virtual server package (RedHat Linux 6.2). Because the script does not validate input properly, attackers can authenticate to the Piranha package with the effective ID of the Web server and execute arbitrary commands.
