remote code execution

Please Install the Updated Packages.

The samba-suite is an open-source implementation of the SMB protocol. CVE-2007-5398: Secunia Research has reported a bug in function reply_netbios_packet() that allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted WINS &quot Name Registration&quot requests followed by a WINS &quot Name Query&quot request packet. The exploitable code in samba can only be reached if the option &quot wins support&quot was enabled. CVE-2007-4572: Another bug reported by Secunia Research affected the processing of GETDC mailslot request in nmbd. This error can also be exploited remotely to execute arbitrary code, but only if samba was configured as Primary or Backup Domain Controller.
