This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Exchange Server. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of System.
Microsoft Exchange Server is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Remote attackers may exploit this issue by sending maliciously constructed TNEF-encoded email data to vulnerable servers. This issue will be triggered when a user views or previews the malicious email. Successfully exploiting this issue would allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected computer in the context of the affected application.
