Summary

It was discovered that Samba is prone to a denial of service
attack when the RPC spoolss service is configured to be run as an
external daemon. Thanks for Jeremy Allison for the patch.



For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
3.6.6-6+deb7u16.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.
