(Multiple Vulnerabilities in Samba)

    Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba. The first vulnerability
    allows a local user who has access to the smbmount command to gain root. An
    attacker could place a setuid-root binary on a Samba share/server he or she
    controls, and then use the smbmount command to mount the share on the
    target UNIX box. The remote Samba server must support UNIX extensions for
    this to work. This has been fixed in version 3.0.2a.
    The second vulnerability is in the smbprint script. By creating a symlink
    from /tmp/smbprint.log, an attacker could cause the smbprint script to
    write to an arbitrary file on the system. This has been fixed in version
    3.0.2a-r2.
  
Impact :

    Local users with access to the smbmount command may gain root access. Also,
    arbitrary files may be overwritten using the smbprint script.
  
Workaround :

    To workaround the setuid bug, remove the setuid bits from the
    /usr/bin/smbmnt, /usr/bin/smbumount and /usr/bin/mount.cifs binaries.
    However, please note that this workaround will prevent ordinary users from
    mounting remote SMB and CIFS shares.
    To work around the smbprint vulnerability, set 'debug=no' in the smbprint
    configuration."
