- From advisory: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
"The SuSE security audit team, in particular Sebastian Krahmer |
| 21 |
<krahmer at suse.de>, has found a flaw in the Samba main smbd code which |
| 22 |
could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain |
| 23 |
Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server." |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
"A buffer overrun condition exists in the SMB/CIFS packet fragment |
| 26 |
re-assembly code in smbd which would allow an attacker to cause smbd |
| 27 |
to overwrite arbitrary areas of memory in its own process address |
| 28 |
space. This could allow a skilled attacker to inject binary specific |
| 29 |
exploit code into smbd." |
