SMB: autorun.inf File Copy
This signature detects attempts to transfer an autorun.inf file using Server Message Block (SMB). Autorun.inf files are used by Microsoft Windows to automatically execute a default program when the drive containing the file is double-clicked (autorun must be activated for that drive). Attackers can use this feature to automatically execute arbitrary code they have copied to a target's hard drive or network share.
Extended Description
Arbitrary code could be executed.
