package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message
Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allows
PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and other information.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the sys_recvfile() function
of nmbd, the NetBIOS message block daemon, processed non-blocking sockets.
An attacker could send a specially crafted packet that, when processed,
would cause nmbd to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount
of CPU time. (CVE-2014-0244)

It was discovered that smbd, the Samba file server daemon, did not properly
handle certain files that were stored on the disk and used a valid Unicode
character in the file name. An attacker able to send an authenticated
non-Unicode request that attempted to read such a file could cause smbd to
crash. (CVE-2014-3493)

Red Hat would like to thank Daniel Berteaud of FIREWALL-SERVICES SARL for
reporting CVE-2014-0244, and the Samba project for reporting CVE-2014-3493.
The Samba project acknowledges Simon Arlott as the original reporter of
CVE-2014-3493.

All Samba users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing this
update, the smb service will be restarted automatically.

Affected Software/OS:
samba3x on CentOS 5

Solution:
Please install the updated packages.
