Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and
other information.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Samba creates NetBIOS replies.
If a Samba server is configured to run as a WINS server, a remote
unauthenticated user could cause the Samba server to crash, or execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-5398)

Red Hat would like to thank Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research for
responsibly disclosing this issue.

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