This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the EMC Retrospect Backup agent. This vulnerability is a result of improper handling of specially crafted packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability creating a denial-of-service condition; thereby causing the application to terminate and prevent backups from occurring on that system.
Dantz Retrospect Backup Client is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can cause the client to fail. This issue has been addressed in Retrospect Backup Client 6.5.138 and 7.0.109; earlier versions are vulnerable. The Apple Retrospect Backup Client is reportedly not affected.
