Description

- CVE-2007-0452 It was discovered that incorrect handling of deferred file open calls may lead to an infinite loop, which results in denial of service.

- CVE-2007-0454 'zybadawg333' discovered that the AFS ACL mapping VFS plugin performs insecure format string handling, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the samba package.

For the upcoming stable distribution (etch) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.23d-5.
