  An input validation flaw was found in the way Samba handled Any Batched

  specially-crafted SMB packet to the Samba server, possibly resulting in
  arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the Samba server (root).

  Red Hat would like to thank the Samba team for reporting this issue.
  Upstream acknowledges Andy Davis of NGS Secure as the original reporter.
