The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

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.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.14a-3sarge4.

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

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.23d-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba package.");
