This signature detects a Microsoft HTML Help Workshop .HHP file containing binary data sent through HTTP. These files should not contain binary, as it can indicate the presence of shellcode or other corruption.
Microsoft HTML Help Workshop is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability occurs when the application handles a malformed HTML Help Workshop Project ('.hhp') file. An attacker may exploit the issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. This vulnerability affects HTML Help Workshop 4.74 and prior versions.
