Samba vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 4.10

Details

Greg MacManus discovered an integer overflow in Samba’s smbd daemon.
Requesting a very large number of access control descriptors from the
server caused an integer overflow, which resulted in a memory
allocation being too short, thus causing a buffer overflow. By sending
carefully crafted data, an attacker could exploit this to execute
arbitrary code on the server with full root permissions.
