SMB service crash via out-of-bounds pointer dereference
Published May 8, 2026 · Updated May 8, 2026
Denial of service in MikroTik RouterOS x86 6.40.5 through 6.44 and 6.48.1 through 6.49.10 allows remote attackers to crash SMB. Packet bytes after the SMB2 header influence ESI, and the SMB process dereferences that register outside mapped memory, raising SIGSEGV. TCP port 445 must expose SMB; the service can restart after about 60 seconds, but repeated packets can leave it unavailable until manual restart.
