Signature Detail

HTTP: Windows Address Book File Transfer-2

This signature detects Windows Address Book files sent through HTTP. Windows Address Book files are not normally transmitted directly to a user.

Extended Description

Microsoft Outlook Express is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the unsuspecting victim. A successful exploit may aid in the remote compromise of the underlying computer.
