Signature Detail

HTTP: Microsoft DirectShow MJPEG Parsing Memory Corruption

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Windows DirectShow MJPEG. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

Microsoft DirectX is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the DirectShow component fails to properly handle compressed media files. Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application that uses DirectX. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
