Multiple Vulnerabilities in Samba Filesystem of Linux Kernel by Linux

CVE-2004-0883

Summary

The Samba filesystem in the Linux kernel (versions 2.4 and 2.6) is exposed to multiple vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious remote Samba servers. These vulnerabilities may allow attackers to initiate a denial of service by causing a kernel crash or extract sensitive information from the kernel memory. This can occur through various means such as returning excessive data, providing incorrect data offsets, and sending specific packet configurations, thereby compromising system security.
