Package : samba
CVE ID : CVE-2015-0240
Richard van Eeden of Microsoft Vulnerability Research discovered that
Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix, contains a
flaw in the netlogon server code which allows remote code execution with
root privileges from an unauthenticated connection.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.
