Details

Updated samba packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 Extended Update Support.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red

Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and
other information.

A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Samba authenticates
remote users. A remote unauthenticated user could trigger this flaw to
cause the Samba server to crash, or execute arbitrary code with the
permissions of the Samba server. (CVE-2007-6015)

Users of Samba are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
