Samba QFILEPATHINFO Unicode Filename Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Samba is reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue presents itself because the application does not perform proper boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into finite sized process buffers. This issue can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer to gain unauthorized access.

This vulnerability is reported to affect Samba versions 3.0.0 to 3.0.7.
