                    Release Notes for Samba 3.4.9
-                          , 2010
+                        September 14, 2010
                    =============================
 
 
-This is the latest stable release of Samba 3.4.
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2010-3069.
+
 
-Major enhancements in Samba 3.4.9 include:
+o  CVE-2010-3069:
+   All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to
+   a buffer overrun vulnerability. The sid_parse() function
+   (and related dom_sid_parse() function in the source4 code)
+   do not correctly check their input lengths when reading a
+   binary representation of a Windows SID (Security ID). This
+   allows a malicious client to send a sid that can overflow
+   the stack variable that is being used to store the SID in the
+   Samba smbd server.
