CVE-2002-1318

64
FAUCET Score

CVE-2002-1318 is a critical buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Samba versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.6, as well as related HP and SGI products. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to trigger a denial of service and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted encrypted password during decryption. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it represents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, a Metasploit module exists for exploitation, indicating readily available exploit code, though there is no recorded community discussion or media coverage.
