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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0883 affects the old Linux smbfs client in kernel 2.4 and 2.6. A malicious or compromised SMB/Samba server could crash the client system or expose kernel memory. The practical risk is mainly legacy Linux hosts that still mount SMB shares using smbfs. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Linux 2.4 or 2.6 systems using smbfs to access SMB/Samba shares. Modern environments are less likely to use smbfs, but old appliances, embedded systems, or unmaintained servers may still carry the risk. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. It is not marked as actively exploited in the supplied sources, but affected systems run kernel-level code that can crash or leak memory when connecting to malicious SMB servers. Mitigation focus: Identify any Linux 2.4 or 2.6 systems that mount SMB shares with smbfs.; Review vendor advisories for the affected distribution and apply supported kernel updates.; Avoid mounting SMB shares from untrusted or unmanaged servers on vulnerable clients..
