[Snort-sigs] false positive for 1:2383 - NETBIOS SMB-DS DCERPC NTLMSSP

Subject: [Snort-sigs] false positive for 1:2383 - NETBIOS SMB-DS DCERPC NTLMSSP asn1 overflow attempt
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 15:37:17 -0500
Hi all,

I'm running Snort 2.2.0 on Debian. The device is snorting a mixed
Win/Mac/*nix dorm network of several hundred machines. Some machines
are in a domain, but all student (privately owned) machines are not in
the domain.

The rule: (GEN:SID 1:2383)

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HOME_NET 445 (msg:"NETBIOS SMB-DS
DCERPC NTLMSSP asn1 overflow attempt"; flow:to_server,established;
content:"|FF|SMBs"; depth:5; offset:4; nocase;
byte_test:1,&,8,6,relative; asn1:double_overflow, oversize_length
2048, bitstring_overflow,relative_offset 54; reference:bugtraq,9633;
reference:bugtraq,9635; reference:cve,2003-0818;
reference:nessus,12052; classtype:attempted-admin;
reference:nessus,12065; sid:2383; rev:13;)

...is generating many false positives -- each and every Domain
machine is causing alerts but no non-domain machines are (including
hundreds of student owned and unpatched XP machines). Furthermore,
there are only two destination addresses -- our 2 AD/DNS servers. Our
domain machines are all patched with up to the minute anti-virus and
are reimaged on a regular basis; it is highly unlikely that they are
compromised by this exploit.

Can I do something more to help improve this rule or add false
positive warnings to the description? I have put a pass rule on it for
now.

Thanks,

Peter
