The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-29 (Samba: Execution of arbitrary code)

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in nmbd. Alin Rad Pop (Secunia     Research) discovered a boundary checking error in the     reply_netbios_packet() function which could lead to a stack-based     buffer overflow (CVE-2007-5398). The Samba developers discovered a     boundary error when processing GETDC logon requests also leading to a     buffer overflow (CVE-2007-4572).

Impact :

To exploit the first vulnerability, a remote unauthenticated attacker     could send specially crafted WINS 'Name Registration' requests followed     by a WINS 'Name Query' request. This might lead to execution of     arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Note that this vulnerability     is exploitable only when WINS server support is enabled in Samba. The     second vulnerability could be exploited by sending specially crafted     'GETDC' mailslot requests, but requires Samba to be configured as a     Primary or Backup Domain Controller. It is not believed the be     exploitable to execute arbitrary code.

Workaround :

To work around the first vulnerability, disable WINS support in Samba     by setting 'wins support = no' in the 'global' section of your     smb.conf and restart Samba.
