Re: DOS MSDTC attempt false positive

Yes, I've got it wrong. In the clarity of daylight, I find that I've confused the "DOS MSDTC" signature with the "DOS Bay/Nortel Nautica Marlin." The latter is apparently subject to false positives due to the problem I mentioned.

Sorry for the false lead!

Actualy I just checked with bugtraq, this exploit takes at least 1024
bytes of data to cause the crash so the "0 bytes" idea bill had is a red
