==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.5.22
+ August 05, 2013
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address
+CVE-2013-4124 (Missing integer wrap protection in EA list reading can cause
+server to loop with DOS).
+
+o CVE-2013-4124:
+ All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of
+ service on an authenticated or guest connection. A malformed packet
+ can cause the smbd server to loop the CPU performing memory
+ allocations and preventing any further service.
+
+ A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed to exploit
+ this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated if guest
+ connections are allowed.
+
+ This flaw is not exploitable beyond causing the code to loop
+ allocating memory, which may cause the machine to exceed memory
+ limits.
+
+
+Changes since 3.5.21:
+---------------------
+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 10010: CVE-2013-4124: Missing integer wrap protection in EA list
+ reading can cause server to loop with DOS.
