  <description>
    <p>
    During an internal audit the Samba team discovered that a flaw in the
    way Samba stores share connection requests could lead to a Denial of
    Service.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By sending a large amount of share connection requests to a vulnerable
    Samba server, an attacker could cause a Denial of Service due to memory
    consumption.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-fs/samba-3.0.22-r3&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
