Description

Samba contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacke to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to a flaw in trans2.c in which the call_trans2open() function user input is not properly sanitized. If an attacker supplied an overly long string to the pname variable, they may be able to overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the server.
