Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in CIFS VFS in Linux kernel 2.6.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long SMB responses that trigger the overflows in the SendReceive function.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en el CIFS VFS en el kernel de Linux 2.6.23 y versiones anteriores permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y, posiblemente, ejecutar código de su elección a través de respuestas SMB largas, que disparan un desbordamiento en la función SendReceive.

Memory access issues, buffer overflows, denial of service, race conditions.. all sorts of fun and mayhem has been addressed in the Linux 2.6 kernel branch on Ubuntu.
