Synopsis
========
A missing boundary check in Samba might lead to the disclosure of
memory contents.
Background
==========
Samba is a suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-fs/samba < 3.0.33 >= 3.0.33
Description
===========
Samba does not properly check memory boundaries when handling trans,
rans2, and nttrans requests.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to a Samba
daemon, leading to the disclosure of arbitrary memory or to a Denial of
Service.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.33"
References
