CVE-2007-5904
Multiple buffer overflows in CIFS VFS in Linux kernel 2.6.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via long SMB responses that trigger the overflows in the SendReceive function.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.38%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
