Signature Detail

HTTP: Multiple Browser Image Resize Video Driver Denial of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against an HTML document. Attackers can create a Web site that includes an HTML document with a maliciously crafted IMG tag. Because the IMG tag contains a resize field larger than a video driver can handle, when viewed, the tag can cause a client's video driver to enter an infinite loop and create a denial-of-service condition.

Extended Description

An attacker could cause a Denial of Service (DoS).
