There have been discovered a bug that could cause Remote exploitation of
an integer overflow vulnerability in the smbd daemon. We have preparred
a new backport of samba to solve these issues.

Due to some changes in the password handling of the ldap password you
also need to upgrade debian-edu-config to make password changes and
adding of new users possible. 
You need debian-edu-config versjon 0.394-1.desa2004021 or later.

We recommend that you update your samba and debian-edu-config packages.
