+ which could result in the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Samba is a suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs for UNIX.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A format string vulnerability exists in the VFS module when handling
+ AFS file systems and an infinite loop has been discovered when handling
+ file rename operations.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A user with permission to write to a shared AFS file system may be able
+ to compromise the smbd process and execute arbitrary code with the
+ permissions of the daemon. The infinite loop could be abused to consume
+ excessive resources on the smbd host, denying service to legitimate
+ users.
+ </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-3.0.24&quot;</code>
