This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Samba daemon. A successful attack can lead to a heap overflow and finally execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
The RPC code generator in Samba 3.x before 3.4.16, 3.5.x before 3.5.14, and 3.6.x before 3.6.4 does not implement validation of an array length in a manner consistent with validation of array memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC call.
