SMB: Samba Malformed QFILEPATHINFO Attack
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against a Samba server. Attackers can send malformed QFILEPATHINFO responses to a Samba server, which can cause a denial of service (DoS) or allow them to execute arbitrary code on the server.
Extended Description
Samba is reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue presents itself because the application does not perform proper boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into finite sized process buffers. This issue can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access. This vulnerability is reported to affect Samba versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.7.
