February 24, 2012

samba vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

Samba could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:

Details:

Andy Davis discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain AndX offsets.
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to the server and
cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

package versions:
