This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Internet Software Consortium InterNetNews (ISC INN) server versions earlier than 2.2.2. These versions contain buffer overflow vulnerabilities. Attackers can remotely execute malicious code on the server.
The Inter Net News (INN) server does not do proper bounds checking. The daemon could be crashed remotely by overflowing the static buffers.
