There is another flaw in Samba. And not only that. The security company that found is stupidly released the source code for the flaw.

The advisory has a link for a section of the Web site with security tools, one of which is a script written in the PERL programming language that quickly takes advantage of the security hole. Called "trans2root.pl," the script causes the compromised computer to return a root shell, which allows an attacker full access to the victim's computer.
