This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. Attackers can create an integer overflow to execute arbitrary code within the kernel.
The Linux kernel is reported prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities in the SMBFS network filesystem. These vulnerabilities may lead to the execution of attacker-supplied machine code, information disclosure of kernel memory, or crashes of the kernel, denying service to legitimate users. Versions of the kernel in both the 2.4 and the 2.6 series are reported prone to various issues.
