Samba "receive_smb_raw()" Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in Samba, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system. This issue is caused by a buffer overflow error in the "receive_smb_raw()" [lib/util_sock.c] function when processing overly large SMB packets received in a client context, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into connecting to a malicious server (e.g. by following an "smb://" link) or by sending specially crafted packets to an "nmbd" server configured as a local or domain master browser.
