This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Windows NFS Server. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
The NFS server in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Server 2012 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and reboot) via an attempted renaming of a file or folder located on a read-only share, aka "NULL Dereference Vulnerability."
