LDAP: Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory LDAP Parsing Memory Corruption

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Windows 2000 domain controllers. A successful attack can result in a server denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

The LDAP service in Active Directory on Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 does not properly free memory for LDAP and LDAPS requests, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a request that uses hexadecimal encoding, whose associated memory is not released, related to a "DN AttributeValue," aka "Active Directory Invalid Free Vulnerability." NOTE: this issue is probably a memory leak.
