client/mount.cifs.c in mount.cifs in smbfs in Samba 3.4.5 and earlier does not verify that the (1) device name and (2) mountpoint strings are composed of valid characters, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (mtab corruption) via a crafted string.

Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Integer overflow in the Samba daemon (smbd) in Samba 2.x and 3.0.x through 3.0.9 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a Samba request with a large number of security descriptors that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Buffer overflow in the QFILEPATHINFO request handler in Samba 3.0.x through 3.0.7 may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TRANSACT2QFILEPATHINFO request with a small "maximum data bytes" value.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The unixcleanname function in Samba 2.2.x through 2.2.11, and 3.0.x before 3.0.2a, trims certain directory names down to absolute paths, which could allow remote attackers to bypass the specified share restrictions and read, write, or list arbitrary files via "/.////" style sequences in pathnames.

The processlogonpacket function in the nmbd server for Samba 3.0.6 and earlier, when domain logons are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a SAMUASCHANGE request with a length value that is larger than the number of structures that are provided.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Samba 3.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and memory exhaustion) via certain malformed requests that cause new processes to be spawned and enter an infinite loop.

The mksmbpasswd shell script (mksmbpasswd.sh) in Samba 3.0.0 and 3.0.1, when creating an account but marking it as disabled, may overwrite the user password with an uninitialized buffer, which could enable the account with a more easily guessable password.

The smdb daemon (smbd/service.c) in Samba 3.0.1 through 3.0.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of share connection requests.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the sendmailslot function in nmbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.27a, when the "domain logons" option is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a GETDC mailslot request composed of a long GETDC string following an offset username in a SAMLOGON logon request.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the replynetbiospacket function in nmbd/nmbdpackets.c in nmbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.26a, when operating as a WINS server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted WINS Name Registration requests followed by a WINS Name Query request.

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Stack-based buffer overflow in nmbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.26a, when configured as a Primary or Backup Domain controller, allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact via crafted GETDC mailslot requests, related to handling of GETDC logon server requests.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the NDR parsing in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted MS-RPC requests involving (1) DFSEnum (netdfsiodfsEnumInfod), (2) RFNPCNEX (smbionotifyoptiontypedata), (3) LsarAddPrivilegesToAccount (lsaioprivilegeset), (4) NetSetFileSecurity (secioacl), or (5) LsarLookupSids/LsarLookupSids2 (lsaiotransnames).

Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way samba read an EA list provided by the client. A malicious client could send a specially crafted EA list that wraps perfectly on a 32-bit boundary, causing the server to loop and re-process the list. This can cause Denial of Service via memory exhaustion.
