CentOS Update for samba3x CESA-2011:0306 centos5 i386

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and other information. A flaw was found in the way Samba handled file descriptors. If an attacker were able to open a large number of file descriptors on the Samba server, they could flip certain stack bits to &quot 1&quot values, resulting in the Samba server (smbd) crashing. (CVE-2011-0719) Red Hat would like to thank the Samba team for reporting this issue. Users of Samba are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted automatically.
