This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Sun Solaris sadmind service. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the affected application.
Sun Solaris is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers can leverage these issues to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect Solaris 8 and 9.
