Title: Security Vulnerability in CIFS/9000 Server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY SECURITY BULLETIN: #0155, 27 June 2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in the following Security Bulletin should be acted upon
as soon as possible. Hewlett-Packard Company will not be liable for any
consequences to any customer resulting from customer's failure to fully
implement instructions in this Security Bulletin as soon as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROBLEM: CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) allows malicious local users
to overwrite arbitrary files and devices.
PLATFORM: HP 9000 servers running CIFS/9000 Server version A.01.06,
or lower.
DAMAGE: Arbitrary files and devices can be overwritten.
SOLUTION: Install PHNE_24164
AVAILABILITY: The patch is available now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Background
Local HP-UX users must intentionally modify certain CIFS/9000
Server resources in order to affect the damage (i.e., technically
proficient and malicious). Problem only occurs during printing
operations; thus, CIFS/9000 Servers used only as file servers are
not vulnerable.
B. Recommended solution
Install patch PHNE_24164 for HP-UX release 11.00 or 11.11.
