Synopsis: Important: samba3x security update
Issue date: 2011-03-01
CVE Names: CVE-2011-0719
A flaw was found in the way Samba handled file descriptors. If an
attacker were able to open a large number of file descriptors on the
Samba server, they could flip certain stack bits to "1" values,
resulting in the Samba server (smbd) crashing. (CVE-2011-0719)
After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted
automatically.
