Hello all,

        I just got an email anouncing a new M$ Encapsulated SMTP Address
Vulnerability (attached for reference) and I'm trying to write a new rule
for this, but have 1 question. What do I assign as a SID??? Do I have to
look for an unused one from some master list???

Thanks in advance,

John

  IIS Microsoft SMTP Service Encapsulated SMTP Address Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

Laurent Frinking of Quark Deutschland GmbH originally discovered this
vulnerability. At that time, the discovery concerned all versions of
Microsoft Exchange 5.5 prior to SP2 with the SP2 IMC patch.

Portcullis has discovered that the Microsoft SMTP Service available with
IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0 is also vulnerable to the encapsulated SMTP address
vulnerability even with anti-relaying features enabled. This vulnerability
allows hosts that are not authorized to relay e-mail via the SMTP server
to bypass the anti-relay features and send mail to foreign domains.

DETAILS

Impact:
The anti-relay rules will be circumvented allowing spam and spoofed mail
to be relayed via the SMTP mail server.

Spam Mail:
If the Microsoft IIS SMTP Server is used to relay spam mail this could
result in the mail server being black holed causing disruption to the
service.

Spoofed e-mail:
As the Microsoft IIS SMTP Service is most often utilized in conjunction
with IIS for commercial use this flaw could be used in order to engineer
customers particularly because spoofed e-mail relayed in this way will
show the trusted web server in the SMTP header.

Exploit:
