This signature detects attempts to exploit a known flaw in the open source project Samba. An out-of-bounds array access leading to heap memory corruption has been reported in Samba. The vulnerability is due to an error in Samba's RPC code generator. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious Server Message Block (SMB) traffic to a vulnerable server. A successful exploitation attempt may result in the execution of arbitrary code as the 'root' user.
Samba is prone to a remote-code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Failed exploit attempts will cause a denial-of-service condition. Samba versions 3.0 through 3.6.3 are vulnerable.
