This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway server. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway is prone to an HTTP response-splitting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. Attackers can leverage this issue to influence or misrepresent how web content is served, cached, or interpreted. This could aid in conducting cross-site scripting attacks and various other attacks that try to entice client users into a false sense of trust.
