Samba is a suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with root privileges, cause a Denial of Service condition, take ownership of shared files, or bypass file permissions. Furthermore, a local attacker may be able to cause a Denial of Service condition or obtain sensitive information in a Samba credentials file.

There is no known workaround at this time.
