Details
Samba developers discovered that nmbd could be made to overrun a buffer
during the processing of GETDC logon server requests. When samba is
configured as a Primary or Backup Domain Controller, a remote attacker
could send malicious logon requests and possibly cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2007-4572)
Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research discovered that nmbd did not properly
check the length of netbios packets. When samba is configured as a WINS
server, a remote attacker could send multiple crafted requests resulting
in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2007-5398)
