This is a high severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.8. It affects Microsoft, Windows. Its EPSS score suggests a 75.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days. It may be remotely exploitable. It may lead to a denial-of-service condition.
Original NVD Description
The server driver (srv.sys) in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an SMB_COM_TRANSACTION SMB message that contains a string without null character termination, which leads to a NULL dereference in the ExecuteTransaction function, possibly related to an "SMB PIPE," aka the "Mailslot DOS" vulnerability. NOTE: the name "Mailslot DOS" was derived from incomplete initial research; the vulnerability is not associated with a mailslot.
