CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2013:1805

Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) or
Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allows PC-compatible
machines to share files, printers, and other information.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the DCE-RPC client code in
Samba. A specially crafted DCE-RPC packet could cause various Samba
programs to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code when parsed.
A malicious or compromised Active Directory Domain Controller could use
this flaw to compromise the winbindd daemon running with root privileges.
(CVE-2013-4408)

Red Hat would like to thank the Samba project for reporting this issue.
Upstream acknowledges Stefan Metzmacher and Michael Adam of SerNet as the
original reporters of this issue.

All users of Samba are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this
update, the smb service will be restarted automatically.
