SMB: Wildcard Filename DoS
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the Samba package. Attackers can issue commands that could exhaust CPU resources, due to a recursive wildcard search pattern, and cause a denial of service condition.
Extended Description
A remote denial-of-service vulnerability affects the wildcard filename functionality of Samba. This issue occurs because the application fails to properly validate malformed user-supplied strings. An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected application to hang, effectively denying service to legitimate users.
