Synopsis:	Critical: samba security update
Issue date:	2010-06-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-2063

An input sanitization flaw was found in the way Samba parsed client
data. A malicious client could send a specially-crafted SMB packet to
the Samba server, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the Samba server (smbd). (CVE-2010-2063)

After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted
automatically.
