Sourcefire VRT Certified Snort Rules Update
Synopsis:
The Sourcefire VRT is aware of vulnerabilities affecting hosts using Microsoft
IIS, Microsoft Windows Firewall and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
Details:
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-041:
Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) contains a programming error that
may allow an attacker to execute code on a vulnerable system. The problem
occurs in the processing of URLs, in that a malformed request may cause a null
pointer dereference and present the attacker with the opportunity to execute
code in the context of the user running the service.
A rule to detect attacks targeting this vulnerability is included in this
release and is identified as SID 12064.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-040:
The Microsoft .NET Framework suffers from a vulnerability that may allow a
remote attacker to compromise a host using the Framework.
A previously released rule will detect attacks targeting this vulnerability and
is identified as SID 11192.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-038:
The Microsoft Windows Firewall fails to correctly handle IPv6 packets when
tunnelled over UDP to traverse an IPv4 Network Address Translation. This may
allow an attacker to initiate network communications with a host and bypass any
Microsoft Windows based firewalls in the process.
Rules to detect attacks targeting this vulnerability are included in this
release and are identified as SIDs 12065 through 12068.
Additionally, SID 8446 may also generate events on IPv6 traffic encapsulated in
IPv4.
