SMB: Windows SMB Client Transaction Response Handling Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the SMB protocol in Microsoft windows. Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, and Server 2003 are vulnerable. Attackers can send malicious messages that might allow them to gain control of the target system.
Extended Description
Microsoft Windows Server Message Block handler is reported prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. Note that since SMB drivers execute in the kernel memory space, a successful attack can grant a remote attacker unauthorized access with ring-0 privileges. Microsoft has noted that other protocols, such as IPX/SPX, could also be vulnerable to this issue. **Update: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 has also been reported vulnerable to this issue.
