From: Pat Riehecky 
Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: samba and samba3x on SL5.x,
 SL6.x i386/srpm/x86_64
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Moderate: samba and samba3x security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0866-1
Issue Date: 2014-07-09
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-0244
 CVE-2014-3493
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the sys_recvfile() function
of nmbd, the NetBIOS message block daemon, processed non-blocking sockets.
An attacker could send a specially crafted packet that, when processed,
would cause nmbd to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount
of CPU time. (CVE-2014-0244)

It was discovered that smbd, the Samba file server daemon, did not
properly handle certain files that were stored on the disk and used a
valid Unicode character in the file name. An attacker able to send an
authenticated non-Unicode request that attempted to read such a file could
cause smbd to crash. (CVE-2014-3493)

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