RPC: Sun Solaris RWall Daemon Syslog Format String

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Sun Solaris RWall Daemon. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

Solaris is the freely available UNIX-derivative operating system developed and distributed by Sun Microsystems. A format-string vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. When malicious format strings are sent from one system to another, an insecure 'syslog' call may allow a remote attacker to exploit the call to execute arbitrary code.
