Description Josh Bressers 2004-09-09 21:13:30 UTC
Summary:        (i) A DoS bug in smbd may allow an
                unauthenticated user to cause smbd to
                spawn new processes each one entering
                an infinite loop.  After sending a sufficient
                amount of packets it is possible to exhaust
                the memory resources on the server.
 
                (ii) A DoS bug in nmbd may allow an attacker
                to remotely crash the nmbd daemon.
