The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

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.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
