CVE-2004-0883: Multiple vulnerabilities in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow remote samba servers to cause a denial of service…
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 91% of all records.
- No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: kernel-image-sparc-2.4 (Debian:3.0) 26woody1; kernel-patch-2.4.19-mips (Debian:3.0) 2.4.19-0.020911.1.woody5; kernel-source-2.4.16 (Debian:3.0) 2.4.16-1woody2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to kernel-image-sparc-2.4 (Debian:3.0) 26woody1; kernel-patch-2.4.19-mips (Debian:3.0) 2.4.19-0.020911.1.woody5; kernel-source-2.4.16 (Debian:3.0) 2.4.16-1woody2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Multiple vulnerabilities in the samba filesystem (smbfs) in Linux kernel 2.4 and 2.6 allow remote samba servers to cause a denial of service (crash) or gain sensitive information from kernel memory via a samba server (1) returning more data than requested to the smb_proc_read function, (2) returning a data offset from outside the samba packet to the smb_proc_readX function, (3) sending a certain TRANS2 fragmented packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function, (4) sending a samba packet with a certain header size to the smb_proc_readX_data function, or (5) sending a certain packet based offset for the data in a packet to the smb_receive_trans2 function.
