CVE-1999-0810

Summary

CVE-1999-0810 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting the Samba NETBIOS name service daemon (nmbd). An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted NetBIOS name query packets to a vulnerable Samba server, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. The affected component is responsible for managing NetBIOS over IP (NBT-over-IP) name services, and the vulnerability can lead to a server becoming unresponsive or unavailable to clients. No authentication is required for an attacker to execute this attack, making it a significant concern for networks that rely on Samba for name resolution services.
