+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #197836 +++ Samba denial of service Upstream alerted us to a denial of service bug in Samba. Here is the description from the mail: """ We've got a small anonymous DoS against Samba 3.0.1 - 3.0.22 inclusive. The bug is caused by continually increasing the size of an array which maintains state information about the number of active share connections. The result is that an attacker could cause a single smbd to bloat exhausting the memory on a server.

samba-3.0.23-1.fc4 has been pushed for fc4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
