SMB: Samba Web Admin Tool Authorization Denial of Service

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against SWAT, a Web front end for the Samba SMB server. Samba versions 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 are vulnerable. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted invalid Authorization string to a SWAT server to overflow a buffer in the SWAT service.

Extended Description

It has been reported that Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) is affected by a base64 decoder buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate buffer boundaries when copying user-supplied input into a finite buffer. Successful exploitation of this issue will allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected computer with the privileges of the affected process; Samba typically runs with superuser privileges.
