This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the chetcpasswd.cgi. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and display the contents of the system /etc/shadow file.
CHETCPASSWD is prone to a vulnerability that may potentially cause the tail end of the local shadow file to be disclosed to a remote attacker. It is possible to exploit this issue by sending an overly long string as a value for the 'user' URI parameter in a request to the 'chetcpasswd.cgi'.
