SMB: Microsoft Remote Administration Protocol Heap Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Windows networking components. A successful attack can lead to heap based buffer overflow and arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
Microsoft Windows is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the library fails to perform adequate boundary-checks on user-supplied data. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges, which can result in the complete compromise of affected computers.
