SMTP: Exchange Mail Route Command Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Exchange Server. A successful attack can allow an unauthenticated attacker to connect to the SMTP port on an Exchange server and issue a specially-crafted extended verb. This might allow the attacker to run malicious programs in the security context of the SMTP service.
Extended Description
Microsoft Exchange Server is prone to a buffer overflow in the X-LINK2STATE SMTP extended verb. Successful exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution.
