MS-RPC: Microsoft Message Queue Manager Heap Overflow (2)
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Windows 2000 Message Queue Manager. Attackers can send a specially-crafted queue registration request to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with Local System privileges.
Extended Description
The Microsoft Message Queuing service (MSMQ) is prone to a remote heap-corruption vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges, facilitating the complete compromise of an affected computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue is exploitable remotely on Windows 2000 systems only. The MSMQ service is not installed or enabled by default. For a computer to be exploited, an administrator must have explicitly installed and enabled the service.
