SUSE-SA:2004:045: samba |

Check for the version of the samba package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:045 (samba). The Samba developers informed us about several potential integer overflow issues in the Samba 2 and Samba 3 code. This update adds constraints to the Samba server code which protects it from using values from untrusted sources as operands in arithmetic operations to acertain heap memory space needed to copy data. Without these limitations a remote attacker may be able to overflow the heap memory of the process and to overwrite vital information structures which can be abused to execute arbitrary code.
