  • The snort rule has been around for at least a couple of years, but I'm not sure how long it's been in Astaro.

    Here's a copy of the snort rule (from 2009-12), fwiw:
    web-client.rules:
    alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS -> $HOME_NET any (msg:"WEB-CLIENT Microsoft Internet Explorer colgroup tag uninitialized memory corruption vulnerability"; flow:to_client,established; content:"]*id\s*=\s*(?P\x22|\x27|)(?P\w+)(?P=q1)[^>]*>.*\s+(?P=q2)\.delete/smi"; metadata[:P]olicy security-ips drop; reference:bugtraq,23771; reference:cve,2007-0944; reference:url,www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms07-027.mspx; classtype:attempted-user; sid:11257; rev:2[;)]
