Synopsis:	Important: samba 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.



SL 6.x
