I got an email the other day from the Samba group. They are releasing
a new version because they have discovered a potential security hole;
to quote...

meanwhile Microsoft have a bug in explorer which has a well known
exploit which allows an arbitrary program to be run on your machine
if you visit a the bad guy's web site. Microsoft suggest you don't
visit untrusted websites.
