Subject: Security ERRATA Critical: samba3x on SL5.x i386/x86_64

Synopsis:	Critical: samba3x security update
Issue date:	2010-09-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3069

NOTE: This errata went out 2010-09-15, but this email was not sent.

A missing array boundary checking flaw was found in the way Samba parsed
the binary representation of Windows security identifiers (SIDs). A
malicious client could send a specially-crafted SMB request to the Samba
server, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the
Samba server (smbd). (CVE-2010-3069)

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