This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Apple QuickTimer Streaming Server. QuickTime Streaming Server v4.1.1 and earlier versions are vulnerable. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted URL to parse_xml.cgi to view files that are not usually accessable through HTTP.
A file retrieval vulnerability has been reported for QuickTime/Darwin Streaming Server. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of some parameters given to the parse_xml.cgi script. Information obtained in this manner may be used by an attacker to launch more organinzed attacks against a vulnerable system. This vulnerability was tested on SS for Microsoft Windows systems.
