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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Samba versions 3.0.1 through 3.0.22

Description: The issue is related to the smbd daemon in Samba, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming excessive memory resources. This can be achieved by sending a large number of share connection requests, leading to memory exhaustion and potentially crashing the affected application.

Recommendations: For Samba versions 3.0.1 through 3.0.22, consider restricting access to the smbd service to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the number of concurrent share connections to prevent memory exhaustion. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
