This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Samba. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the fruit_pwrite function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root.
