Samba nmbd Mailslot Packet Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity CVSS Published Added Modified
Severe (5) 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P) Dec 31, 2004 Aug 31, 2007 Sep 21, 2007

Description:

Certain versions of Samba contain a flawed implementation of the process_logon_packet function in the nmbd daemon. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can craft a corrupt SAM_UAS_CHANGE request that causes the nmbd daemon to crash. Note that in order for exploitation to be successful, domain logons must be enabled in the configuration file ("domain logons = yes" in smb.conf).
