SMB: Microsoft Windows Plug and Play Registry Key Access Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft's Plug and Play protocol. A successful exploit can allow remote code execution and local privilege elevation, leading to an attacker achieving complete control of the affected system.
Extended Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Plug and Play (PnP) service (UMPNPMGR.DLL) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, and XP SP1 and SP2, allows remote or local authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of "\" (backslash) characters in a registry key name, which triggers the overflow in a wsprintfW function call.
