Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability in Microsoft CIFS Computer Browser Service

CVE-2000-0404

Summary

The CIFS Computer Browser service is susceptible to a remote denial of service that allows attackers to disrupt network operations. By sending a specially crafted ResetBrowser frame to the Master Browser, an attacker can effectively hinder the ability of systems to navigate and utilize shared resources on the network. This could lead to a significant disruption in service, as affected systems struggle to maintain the necessary browser functions for network resource visibility and access. It is essential for users to ensure their systems are patched to mitigate this vulnerability.
