This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the php_quot_print_encode() function in PHP. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the php_quot_print_encode function in ext/standard/quot_print.c in PHP before 5.3.26 and 5.4.x before 5.4.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted argument to the quoted_printable_encode function.
