Release Announcements ===================== Samba 3.5.7, 3.4.12 and 3.3.15 are security releases in order to address CVE-2011-0719.
o CVE-2011-0719: All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of service caused by memory corruption. Range checks on file descriptors being used in the FD_SET macro were not present allowing stack corruption. This can cause the Samba code to crash or to loop attempting to select on a bad file descriptor set. A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed to exploit this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated (guest connection). Currently we do not believe this flaw is exploitable beyond a crash or causing the code to loop, but on the advice of our security reviewers we are releasing fixes in case an exploit is discovered at a later date. Changes ------- o Jeremy Allison <jra at samba.org> * BUG 7949: Fix DoS in Winbind and smbd with many file descriptors open. ###################################################################### Reporting bugs & Development Discussion ####################################### Please discuss this release on the samba-technical mailing list or by joining the #samba-technical IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
