RPC: Mountd Export Listing
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in mountd. Attackers can request a list of directories exported by the mountd daemon; attackers can use this list of services running on the server to plan future, more targeted attacks.
Extended Description
Authenticated users may gain sensitive server information, which could be used to map the server and launch further attacks.
