PACKAGE : samba
SUMMARY : Fix for Samba's denial of service vulnerability
DATE : 2004-11-25 13:03:00
ID : CLA-2004:899

DESCRIPTION
Samba[1] provides SMB/CIFS services (such as file and printer
sharing) used by clients compatible with Microsoft Windows(TM).
Karol Wiesek found a vulnerability[2] in the input validation
routines in Samba 3.x used to match filename strings containing
wildcard characters that may allow a remote attacker to consume
abnormal amounts of CPU cycles.
Also, Steffan Esser found a buffer overflow in the QFILEPATHINFO
request handler in Samba 3.0.x through 3.0.7 that may allow remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TRANSACT2_QFILEPATHINFO
request with a small "maximum data bytes" value.
SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Samba users upgrade their packages. This
update will automatically restart the service if it is already
running.
