MS SMS DOS Proof-of-concept code and Snort sig
#####################################################################
Advisory Name : Microsoft Systems Management Server Remote Denial Of Service
Vulnerability
Release Date : 22 July, 2004
Application : Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
Author : MacDefender / SRR Project Group of Ready Response
(srr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
#####################################################################
Overview
In response to a remote denial of service vulnerability in the Microsoft
Systems Management Server:
http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10726
http://www.net-security.org/vuln.php?id=3576
We have developed a snort signature to detect attempted DOS attacks to the SMS
port 2702 port on a server.
In addition we have also released perl code that will demonstrate the
vulnerability against a live server, so administrators will be able to test the
security of their own Systems Management Server's.
------------------------------------------------
Signature
The snort (www.snort.org) signature we have developed for identifying an
attempted DOS attack to a Systems Management Server is as follows:
alert tcp any 1024: -> any 2702 (msg: "MS SMS DOS"; content: "|52 43 48
30|";depth: 4;isdataat: 139; classtype: denial-of-service;)
------------------------------------------------
Proof of concept code
You may test your own Systems Management Server's for vulnerability to this
issue by using the following perl code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
