Hello Tino, The packets you are seeing are from a scan for the latest samba 2.2.8 remote root hole, regarding a packet re-assembly bug (the samba team misused a strncpy() call) this bug was patched with version 2.2.8a. The packet you are seeing is probably generated by one of the exploits that is in the wild that have scanning ability (check packetstorm for example to see those ones). Mainly they are just checking if you do have samba and what version the CKAA it's plain garbage.
