If your running Samba over the internet, that is pretty weird. Anyway, might want to patch up Samba.

The flaw occurs in the code that reassembles data that the software receives from the Internet, according to the advisory. By sending the server a specially crafted data packet, an attacker could overload the memory used by the Samba software and cause the application to run code of the intruder's choice.
