==============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 3.4.12
+ February 28 2011
+ ==============================
+
+
+This is a security release in order to address CVE-2011-0719.
+
+
+o CVE-2011-0719:
+ All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to
+ a denial of service caused by memory corruption. Range
+ checks on file descriptors being used in the FD_SET macro
+ were not present allowing stack corruption. This can cause
+ the Samba code to crash or to loop attempting to select
+ on a bad file descriptor set.
+
+
+Changes since 3.4.11
+--------------------
+
+
+o Jeremy Allison <jra@samba.org>
+ * BUG 7949: Fix DoS in Winbind and smbd with many file descriptors open.
