This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or remote code execution as SYSTEM.
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. Successful exploits can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
