Buffer Overflow Vulnerability attempt detected (CAN-2004-200)

Hello, Does anyone know how to test for this? Someone said that they
get that error when they visit my website. I think is got to be
related to the pull down menu script but I havent seen anything like
this before.

Since this is an old vulnerability that requires the use of a specially
crafted JPEG image, I would start by determining which JPEG image is
causing the problem. If a machine that has IPS protection attempts to open
a page on your web site, but does not receive some of the images, then you
should replace those images with something else and see if the problem goes
away. There are other ways to determine which JPEG is causing the problem,
but you will need to know how the CAN-2004-200 vulnerability works in order
look for the pattern within the JPEG file. You could try reading this
paper about this vulnerability (and vulnerabilities associated with JPEG
files) http://www.infosecwriters.com/text_resources/pdf/JPEG.pdf

According to:

Detection
------------------------

Detection could be accomplished by examining the JPEG image for the
following byte sequence:

0xFF 0xFE 0x00 0x00 or 0xFF 0xFE 0x00 0x01
