This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Apple Filing Protocol. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted packet that contains an invalid PathName length to overflow a string buffer and execute arbitrary code. Note: Apple Inc. has fixed this vulnerability in APPLE-SA-2004-05-03 Security Update 2004-05-03
It has been reported that AppleFileServer is prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in order to gain unauthorized access. The issue presents itself when the application receives a 'LoginExt' packet containing a malformed 'PathName' argument. Apple Mac OS X 10.3.3 and prior are reported to be prone to this issue. This issue was previously disclosed in a multiple BID 10268 (Apple OS X Multiple Unspecified Large Input Vulnerabilities), however, it is being assigned a new BID as a result of new information available.
