This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows DirectShow component. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability when handling compressed media files. An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user to open a malicious file. A successful exploit may allow arbitrary code to run in the context of the currently logged-in user. Failed attack attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition.
