PORTMAPPER: DUMP Call
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Portmapper. Attackers can send a DUMP RPC call to the Portmap daemon to obtain a list of available RPC programs for a host. Attackers can use this list to plan future, more targeted attacks.
Extended Description
Remote intruders could exploit this vulnerability to identify services that are running on a server. Although an intruder does not break into a server at this point, the information gained could be used to execute malicious attacks on the server.
