This signature detects attempts to exploit a known format string vulnerability in multiple implementations iSCSI target. iSCSI, an abbreviation of Internet Small Computer System Interface, is an Internet Protocol (IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. It can be leveraged by remote unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
iSCSI Enterprise Target and tgt are prone to multiple format-string vulnerabilities because they fail to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function. An attacker may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Other attacks may also be possible, including data loss or corruption.
