The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200703-01 (Snort: Remote execution of arbitrary code)
The Snort DCE/RPC preprocessor does not properly reassemble certain types of fragmented SMB and DCE/RPC packets.
Impact :
A remote attacker could send specially crafted fragmented SMB or DCE/RPC packets, without the need to finish the TCP handshake, that would trigger a stack-based buffer overflow while being reassembled.
This could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the Snort preprocessor.
Workaround :
Disable the DCE/RPC processor by commenting the 'preprocessor dcerpc' section in /etc/snort/snort.conf .
