Summary
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200711-29.
Solution
The Samba 3.0.27 ebuild that resolves both vulnerabilities is currently masked due to a regression in the patch for the second vulnerability.
Since no working patch exists yet, all Samba users should upgrade to 3.0.26a-r2, which contains a fix for the first vulnerability (CVE-2007-5398):
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-fs/samba-3.0.26a-r2'
An update to this temporary GLSA will be sent when the second vulnerability will be fixed.
