This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in HTTP cookie header. A successful attack can result in directory traversal attacks.
On the Trend Micro Threat Discovery Appliance 2.6.1062r1, directory traversal when processing a session_id cookie allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to delete arbitrary files as root. This can be used to bypass authentication or cause a DoS.
