Vulnerability Insight:
There is a bug in smbfs which may allow local users to gain root via a
setuid file on a mounted Samba share. Also, there is a tmpfile symlink
vulnerability in the smbprint script distributed with Samba.

Solution:
All users should update to the latest version of the Samba package.

The following commands will perform the upgrade:

# emerge sync

# emerge -pv '>=net-fs/samba-3.0.2a-r2'
# emerge '>=net-fs/samba-3.0.2a-r2'

Those who are using Samba's password database also need to run the

sambaPwdLastSet attribute on each account, and ensure it is not 0.
