[slackware-security] Samba buffer overflow fixed
The samba packages in Slackware 8.1 and -current have been patched to fix
a security problem. All sites running samba should upgrade.
Here are the details from the Slackware 8.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
Sat Mar 15 13:49:04 PST 2003
patches/packages/samba-2.2.8-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to Samba 2.2.8.
From the Samba web site:
* (14th Mar, 2003) Security Release - Samba 2.2.8
A flaw has been detected in the Samba main smbd code which
could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously
gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a
Samba server. This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba
from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. This is a serious problem
and all sites should either upgrade to Samba 2.2.8
immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139 and 445.
(* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+
More information may be found in the Samba release notes.
