This guys knows their stuff pretty well. They helped me understand where my memory might fall short of my quota on my VPS and they optimized some CONF files that I needed modified for a much more robust server. I highly recommend them.

Ubuntu Linux Security Update: Samba regression ( CVE-2008-1105 )

11-09-2010

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

=> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
=> Ubuntu 7.04
=> Ubuntu 7.10
=> Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Samba developers discovered that nmbd could be made to overrun a buffer during the processing of GETDC logon server requests. When samba is configured as a Primary or Backup Domain Controller, a remote attacker could send malicious logon requests and possibly cause a denial of service. (CVE-2007-4572) .

Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research discovered that Samba did not properly perform bounds checking when parsing SMB replies. A remote attacker could send crafted SMB packets and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1105)
