Comment 23 for bug 978458

This flaw exists in the samba PIDL code, and therefore affects the PIDL compiler shipped within the samba4 package (samba4-pidl). However we do not ship any daemon with the samba4 package, hence the impact of this flaw on samba4 is very limited.

The samba4-pidl compiler is also used to compile code in the openchange and evolution-mapi packages. These contain client side code for exchanging data with MAPI servers. In order to successfully exploit vulnerabilities in these packages, arising out of the above flaw in samba4-pidl, one will need to MITM the connection between these clients and the MAPI servers. Hence the impact on these packages is limited as well.
