  Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-045: Unchecked Buffer in Network Share Provider Can Lead to Denial of Service (Q326830)
Time: 20:34 EST/01:34 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson

SMB (Server Message Block) is the protocol Microsoft uses to share files, printers, serial ports, and also to communicate between computers using named pipes and mail slots. In a networked environment, servers make file systems and resources available to clients. Clients make SMB requests for resources and servers make SMB responses in what described as a client server, request-response protocol. By sending a specially crafted packet request, an attacker can mount a denial of service attack on the target server machine and crash the system. The attacker could use both a user account and anonymous access to accomplish this. Though not confirmed, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code.
