GEN:SID | 1:3145 |
Message | NETBIOS SMB-DS Trans2 FIND_FIRST2 response overflow attempt |
Summary | This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft systems using Server Message Block (SMB). |
Impact | Serious. Execution of arbitrary code leading to unauthorized administrative access to the target host. Denial of Service (DoS) is also possible. |
Detailed Information | SMB is a client - server protocol used in sharing resources such as files, printers, ports, named pipes and other things, between machines on a network. A vulnerability in the Microsoft implementation of SMB exists due to a programming error which may present an attacker with the opportunity to exploit the service and run code of their choosing on an affected system. The attacker may then cause a DoS condition in the service or possibly gain unauthorized access to the target host. A malicious attacker can exploit the vulnerability by sending a malicious response from a server in response to a client request using SMB. |
Affected Systems | Microsoft Windows 2003 Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows XP |
Attack Scenarios | An attacker can supply extra data in the message from the server containing code of their choosing to be run on the client. |
Ease of Attack | Simple. |
Corrective Action | Apply the appropriate vendor supplied patches. Turn off windows file and print services. Use Samba as an alternative. |
