NNTP: INND Remote Buffer Overflow (1)
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the INND daemon that ships by default with Red Hat 6.2. Versions earlier than INND/NNRP 1.6.x are vulnerable. A successful attacker can gain root access.
Extended Description
innd 2.2.2 contains a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in code reached when a cancel request is sent to the "control" newsgroup, under the following condition: the cancel request contains a valid Message-ID but the From/Sender fields differ between the cancel request and the post referenced by the Message-ID. This attack only works against machines running INN with "verifycancels = true"
