Summary
Potential Buffer Overrun in Samba 3.0.x <= 3.0.4.
Insight
Insight
A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. Please be aware that the default setting for this parameter is 'mangling method = hash2' and therefore not vulnerable. Affected Samba 3 installations can avoid this possible security bug by using the default hash2 mangling method. Server installations requiring the hash mangling method are encouraged to upgrade to Samba 3.0.5.
