Details
How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?
To exploit this vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker would need to send a specially crafted RPC call to an RPC host. This could result in remote code execution on the server side with the same permissions as the RPC service.
Is blocking RPC with a perimeter firewall recommended?
Blocking TCP port 135 at the enterprise perimeter firewall is a recommended best practice that could reduce the likelihood of some potential attacks against this vulnerability.
