The RPC code generator in Samba 3.x before 3.4.16, 3.5.x before 3.5.14, and 3.6.x before 3.6.4 does not implement validation of an array length in a manner consistent with validation of array memory allocation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted RPC call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in Samba’s RPC handling can let a remote attacker run code by sending a crafted RPC call. This affects older Samba 3.x releases before the fixed versions named by Samba. Organizations should treat exposed legacy Samba servers as urgent upgrade targets. Exposure is most likely on systems running Samba 3.x before 3.4.16, 3.5.14, or 3.6.4. The bundle does not identify specific downstream products beyond distribution advisories, so inventory should focus on Samba package versions and externally reachable RPC services. High priority for any organization still operating legacy Samba 3.x. Remote code execution against file or identity infrastructure can create broad operational impact, but urgency depends on whether vulnerable services remain deployed and reachable. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Samba to 3.4.16, 3.5.14, 3.6.4, or a vendor-fixed package.; Prioritize internet-exposed or untrusted-network Samba deployments.; Apply relevant distribution advisories from Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora, Mandriva, or HP where applicable..
