Debian DSA-1110-1 : samba - missing input sanitising

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22652

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Gerald Carter discovered that the smbd daemon from Samba, a free implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol, imposes insufficient limits in the code to handle shared connections, which can be exploited to exhaust system memory by sending maliciously crafted requests, leading to denial of service.

Solution

Upgrade the samba package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.14a-3sarge2.
