Samba: Multiple vulnerabilities Samba is vulnerable to a buffer overflow that could lead to execution of arbitrary code (CAN-2004-0882). Another flaw in Samba may allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service by excessive consumption of CPU cycles (CAN-2004-0930). samba 2004-11-11 2004-11-15 70429 remote 3.0.8 3.0 3.0.8

Samba is a freely available SMB/CIFS implementation which allows seamless interoperability of file and print services to other SMB/CIFS clients.

Samba fails to do proper bounds checking when handling TRANSACT2_QFILEPATHINFO replies. Additionally an input validation flaw exists in ms_fnmatch.c when matching filenames that contain wildcards.

An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Samba. A remote attacker may also be able to cause an abnormal consumption of CPU resources, resulting in slower performance of the server or even a Denial of Service.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version:
