HTTP: Wordpress CVE-2015-0235 glibc Hostname RCE
This signature detects an attempt to exploit a known vulnerability in WordPress while passing the hostname value as an argument to "GetHOSTbyname" function which is being implemented in glibc library. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to craft a malicious arbitrary string and could lead to further attacks.
Extended Description
Heap-based buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions before 2.18, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) gethostbyname or (2) gethostbyname2 function, aka "GHOST."
