MS-RPC: ARNUDP RPC Denial of Service

This signature detects denial-of-service (DoS) attempts against the Windows RPC service. Attackers can send a small amount of invalid data to port 135 to crash a Windows RPC service.

Extended Description

The Microsoft Windows RPC service may contain a flaw that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. By sending a specifically malformed packet to TCP port 135, the RPC service will be disabled. This issue may be related to BID 6005, however, this has not been confirmed.
