This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Computer Associates Products Message Engine. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the service.
Multiple Computer Associates products are prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the applications using an affected library fail to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Exploiting these issues allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code within the context of the affected application.
