Debian Security Advisory

DSA-1110-1 samba -- missing input sanitising

Date Reported:
16 Jul 2006
Affected Packages:
samba
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2006-3403.
More information:

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.

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

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
