This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows parser. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the client.
Microsoft GDI+ is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the vector graphics link library improperly processes PNG image files. An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts may crash applications that use the library.
