This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows ANI file parser. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
Microsoft Windows is prone to a denial of service when processing specially formed ANI files. The Windows kernel fails to perform proper sanitization on the frame or rate number set in the ANI file header, which may result in a system crash.
