HTTP: Outlook Express Address Book Overflow1
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Outlook Express when processing contacts in Windows Address Book (.WAB) file. Attackers sending a maliciously crafted .WAB file can persuade a user to execute this file, causing a buffer overflow; thus allowing arbitrary code execution in the logged-on user's contexts.
