This protocol anomaly is a BDAT with a chunk-size larger than 0x7fffffff. A successful attacker could cause all services to fail on the target system.
It has been reported that the native Windows 2000 and XP Professional SMTP service encounters difficulties when attempting to handle certain types of malformed SMTP commands. A remote attacker may be able to exploit this condition to cause a denial of SMTP service. The vulnerable software must be restarted to regain normal functionality.
