You might want to disable Samba until this is patched

See https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2012-1182

If you're using Samba outside your house or office where you can see
everyone, you might want to disable it until this is patched in the repos.

did you made a bugreport and/or send this to devel-list?
on fileservers disable samba is not really a option :-)

Agreed.  However, if you have control over all of the machines 
connecting to those servers you're probably not risking that much.  If I 
read the advisory correctly the problem is that outside machines can use 
samba to get root access.  Internal machines should be safe as long as 
your good about keeping them updated and don't let them run anything you 
haven't checked out.
