This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against several McAfee system security management products. It is due to improper boundary checks when parsing HTTP request header fields. A successful unauthenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code with System level privileges.
The HTTP server component of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that can lead to complete system compromise. This issue arises because the application fails to perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers. A successful attack may result in arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges, leading to a full compromise. McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 3.5.0 patch 5 and prior versions as well as ProtectionPilot 1.1.1 patch 2 and prior versions are vulnerable to this issue.
