Samba unauthenticated remote root code execution

["Keller, Alex" <axkeller () STANFORD EDU>]

Samba unauthenticated remote root code execution.  Scope looks pretty wide, Linux/Unix distros running Samba 3.5.0 --> 
4.2.0rc4. Notably this will affect some NAS vendors who may be slow to offer patches.

Package        : samba

CVE ID         : CVE-2015-0240



Richard van Eeden of Microsoft Vulnerability Research discovered that Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server 
for Unix, contains a flaw in the netlogon server code which allows remote code execution with root privileges from an 
unauthenticated connection.



For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u5.



We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.
