Synopsis
=======
Samba contains a bug that could lead to remote execution of arbitrary code.
Background
=========
Samba is a freely available SMB/CIFS implementation which allows seamless interoperability of file and print services to other SMB/CIFS clients.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-fs/samba <= 3.0.9 >= 3.0.9-r1
Description
==========
Samba contains a bug when unmarshalling specific MS-RPC requests from clients.
Impact
=====
A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Samba, which could be the root user.
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-3.0.9-r1"
