Samba provides file and printer sharing services to SMB/CIFS clients.

A denial of service flaw was found in Samba’s smbd daemon process. An
authenticated user could send a specially crafted request which would cause
a smbd child process to enter an infinite loop condition. By opening
multiple CIFS sessions, an attacker could exhaust system resources
(CVE-2007-0452).

Users of Samba should update to these packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
