Fo those in need of a samba fix. http://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2012-0817
The Samba smbd daemon that listens for incoming connections leaks a small amount of memory on every connection attempt. Although this is a small leak, it happens on every connection even without successful authentication. Thus an attacker can simply loop making connection requests and cause the listening daemon to ever increase in size. Eventually the server process will grow enough to either cause memory allocations in other processes to fail, or be killed by the system as part of its out of memory protection. Either way, denial of service would be achieved. http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.6.3.html CVE-2012-0817: The Samba File Serving daemon (smbd) in Samba versions 3.6.0 to 3.6.2 is affected by a memory leak that can cause a server denial of service.
