snort入侵检测规则文件2.4 Snort是众所周知的网络入侵检测工具

Rule:


--
Sid:
1273

--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made through a portmap GETPORT request to discover the port where the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) selection_svc is listening.

--
Impact:
Information disclosure.  This request is used to discover which port selection_svc is using.  Attackers can also learn what versions of the selection_svc protocol are accepted by selection_svc.

--
Detailed Information:
The portmapper service registers all RPC services on UNIX hosts. It can be queried to determine the port where RPC services such as selection_svc run.  The selection_svc RPC service is used by SunView, an old windowing system from Sun.  A vulnerability exists in selection_svc that allows a remote user to read files that are readable by SunView. 

--
Affected Systems:
Sun SunOS 3.5
Sun SunOS 4.0
Sun SunOS 4.0.1
Sun SunOS 4.0.2
Sun SunOS 4.0.3
Sun SunOS 4.1
Sun SunOS 4.1.1

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can query the portmapper to discover the port where selection_svc runs.  This may be a precursor to accessing selection_svc.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple.  

--
False Positives:
If a legitimate remote user is allowed to access selection_svc, this rule may trigger.

--
False Negatives:
This rule detects probes of the portmapper service for selection_svc, not probes of the selection_svc service itself. Because RPC services often listen on fairly arbitrary ports, it may not be possible to detect misuses of the selection_svc service itself. An attacker may attempt to go directly to the selection_svc port without querying the portmapper service which, would not trigger the rule.

--
Corrective Action:
Limit remote access to RPC services.

Filter RPC ports at the firewall to ensure access is denied to RPC-enabled machines. 

Disable unneeded RPC services.
