+ Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) discovered a boundary checking error in
+ the send_mailslot() function which could lead to a stack-based buffer
+ overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted "SAMLOGON" domain
+ logon packet, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with
+ elevated privileges. Note that this vulnerability is exploitable only
+ when domain logon support is enabled in Samba, which is not the case in
+ Gentoo's default configuration.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable domain logon in Samba by setting "<i>domain logons = no</i>" in
+ the "global" section of your smb.conf and restart Samba.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-fs/samba-3.0.28"</code>
