Comments: To: scientific 

Synopsis:          Critical: samba security update
Issue date:        2007-05-14
CVE Names:         CVE-2007-2446 CVE-2007-2447

Various bugs were found in NDR parsing, used to decode MS-RPC requests in
Samba.  A remote attacker could have sent carefully crafted requests
causing a heap overflow, which may have led to the ability to execute
arbitrary code on the server.  (CVE-2007-2446)

Unescaped user input parameters were being passed as arguments to /bin/sh.
A remote, authenticated, user could have triggered this flaw and executed
arbitrary code on the server.  Additionally on Scientific Linux 5  this 
flaw could be triggered by a remote unauthenticated user if
Samba was configured to use the non-default "username map script" option.
