DESCRIPTION
Samba provides SMB/CIFS services (such as file and printer sharing)
used by clients compatible with Microsoft Windows(TM).
The Digital Defense team found[1] a stack overflow vulnerability in
the samba SMB protocol implementation. A remote attacker can exploit
this vulnerability to gain root access to a system running a samba
server.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
the name CAN-2003-0201 to this issue[2].
Please note this is not a re-edition of the previous samba security
update[3]. This vulnerability was independently discovered some days
later.
SOLUTION
All samba users should upgrade their packages immediately. This
update will automatically restart the samba service if it is already
running.
