Yes, I'm afraid this was a known regression in the security fix for CVE-2007-4572 which should have been (but wasn't) documented as part of the DSA mail. Fixed packages for sarge and etch are just waiting for binary packages to be available on all architectures. If your file server is not also being used as a WINS server, I recommend that you downgrade to 3.0.24-6etch4. If your file server *is* being used as a WINS server, then you have CVE-2007-5398 to contend with, which is a remote root exploit, so I would /not/ recommend downgrading. Instead, your best option is to instead migrate from the deprecated smbfs client to cifs, or to weather the problem until the updated packages become available from security.debian.org within a few days. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
