CVE-2004-0815

21
FAUCET Score

CVE-2004-0815 describes a path traversal vulnerability in Samba versions 2.2.x through 2.2.11 and 3.0.x before 3.0.2a. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass share restrictions and access arbitrary files (read, write, or list) by manipulating directory names with "/.////" sequences. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered high severity, requiring no authentication and having low attack complexity, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion is noted, its age and the availability of patches suggest it is a legacy concern.
