  <title>Samba: Heap-based buffer overflow</title>
  <synopsis>
    A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Samba, allowing for
    the execution of arbitrary code.

  <affected>
    <package name="net-fs/samba" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">3.0.28a-r1</unaffected>

    <p>
    Samba is a suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs.

  <description>
    <p>
    Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) reported a vulnerability in Samba
    within the receive_smb_raw() function in the file lib/util_sock.c when
    parsing SMB packets, possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
    via an overly large SMB packet.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could possibly exploit this vulnerability by enticing
    a user to connect to a malicious server or by sending specially crafted
    packets to an nmbd server configured as a local or domain master
    browser, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-fs/samba-3.0.28a-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
