This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the Remote Control Client service in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS). SMS 2.50 is vulnerable. Because the service does not properly validate user input, attackers can send a maliciously crafted request to a control port and crash the service.
Reportedly Microsoft Systems Management Server is vulnerable to a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the affected server to handle exceptional conditions. Successful exploitation of this issue will allow an attacker to trigger a denial of service condition in the affected server. Code execution might be possible but is unlikely and unconfirmed.
