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"
