Xerox ESS/Network Controller Samba code execution
| xerox-controller-samba-code-execution (45251) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Xerox ESS/Network Controller could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by the improper handling of SMB responses within the Samba code. By sending a specially-crafted Remote Service Message Block (SMB) message, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
