This signature detects attempts to exploit several security vulnerabilities against McAfee Subsrition Manager ClassID. Attackers can craft a malicious Web site, which if accessed by a victim, can add, remove, run any program on the victim's computer, or reboot the computer.
McAfee SecurityCenter is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability requires a certain amount of user-interaction for an attack to occur, such as visiting a malicious website. A successful exploit would let a remote attacker execute code with the privileges of the currently logged in user. This issue is reported to affect versions 4.3 through 6.0.22. Please see the affected packages section for a list of McAfee consumer products that ship with vulnerable versions of the McAfee SecurityCenter.
