CVE-2010-1635: Null Pointer Dereference

First published: Wed May 12 2010(Updated: )

It was reported [1] that two vulnerabilities were found in Samba's smbd that would allow an attacker to trigger a null pointer dereference or an unitialized variable read by sending a specific 'Sessions Setup AndX' query. Successful exploitation of these issues would result in a denial of service. The upstream bug report [2] has a patch.
