[slackware-security] samba

New samba packages are available for Slackware 14.1 and -current to
fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/samba-4.1.11-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a remote code execution attack on unauthenticated nmbd
NetBIOS name services. A malicious browser can send packets that may
overwrite the heap of the target nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon.
It may be possible to use this to generate a remote code execution
vulnerability as the superuser (root).

(* Security fix *)
