Synopsis
========
Samba contains a bug that could lead to remote execution of arbitrary
code.
Background
==========
Samba is a freely available SMB/CIFS implementation which allows
seamless interoperability of file and print services to other SMB/CIFS
clients.
Affected packages

1 net-fs/samba <= 3.0.9 >= 3.0.9-r1
Description
===========
Samba contains a bug when unmarshalling specific MS-RPC requests from
clients.
Impact
======
A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running Samba, which could be the root user.
Workaround
