Summary

Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) in Samba 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by repeatedly submitting a nonstandard URL in the GET HTTP request and forcing it to restart. This can lead to service unavailability.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely disrupt the SWAT service, causing administration outages and potential disruption to Samba operations. This affects the availability of critical file-sharing services.

Recommendation

Update Samba to a newer version that does not contain this vulnerability. Restrict access to SWAT to trusted networks and consider disabling it if not needed.
