--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Legacy Test Update Notification FEDORALEGACY-2005-2349 Bugzilla https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2349 2005-02-17 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : samba Versions : rh7.3: samba-2.2.12-0.73.7.legacy Versions : rh9: samba-2.2.12-0.90.6.legacy Versions : fc1: samba-3.0.10-1.fc1.1.legacy Summary : The Samba SMB server. Description : Samba is the protocol by which a lot of PC-related machines share files, printers, and other information (such as lists of available files and printers). The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more. This package provides an SMB server that can be used to provide network services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Updated samba packages that fix various security vulnerabilities are now available.
During a code audit, Stefan Esser discovered a buffer overflow in Samba versions prior to 3.0.8 when handling unicode filenames. An authenticated remote user could exploit this bug which may lead to arbitrary code execution on the server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0882 to this issue.
A bug was found in the input validation routines in versions of Samba prior to 3.0.8 that caused the smbd process to consume abnormal amounts of system memory. An authenticated remote user could exploit this bug to cause a denial of service. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0930 to this issue.
Greg MacManus of iDEFENSE Labs has discovered an integer overflow bug in Samba versions prior to 3.0.10. An authenticated remote user could exploit this bug which may lead to arbitrary code execution on the Samba server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1154 to this issue.
Users of Samba should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported security patches, and are not vulnerable to these issues.
