OS-WINDOWS -- Snort has detected traffic targeting vulnerabilities in a Windows-based operating system. This does not include browser traffic or other software on the OS, but attacks against the OS itself.
OS-WINDOWS Microsoft Windows NetrServerReqChallenge RPC transport sign and seal disabling attempt
This rule looks for a crafted NetrServerReqChallenge dcerpc request where the NegotiationFlags are set in such a way that will disable Secure NRPC's "signing and sealing" or use of Netlogon's secure channel. Microsoft has released updates that allows system administrators to enforce use of secure channels, and notes that "starting with the February 9, 2021 updates where enforcement mode will be enabled on all Windows Domain Controllers, regardless of the registry setting".
This rule looks for an attempt to exploit CVE-2020-1472, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in Netlogon authentication handling.
