REXEC: Command Buffer Overflow
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an REXEC connection with a specified command line that is too long. This can indicate a buffer overflow attempt.
Extended Description
An anomaly exists if an rexec command has a command line that is too long. Receiving such a request could indicate an attack attempt. The impact depends on how an rexec daemon handles such malformed requests.
