MS-RPC: License Logging Server Remote Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft License Logging Server. A successful attack allows remote code execution on the server resulting in the attacker taking over complete control of the system.

Extended Description

The License Logging Server (llssrv.exe) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an RPC message containing a string without a null terminator, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow in the LlsrLicenseRequestW method, aka "License Logging Server Heap Overflow Vulnerability."
