CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE   : samba
SUMMARY   : Fixes for Samba vulnerabilities
DATE      : 2005-01-06 17:10:00
ID        : CLA-2005:913

RELEASES  : 9, 10

DESCRIPTION
 Samba[1] provides SMB/CIFS services (such as file and printer
 sharing) used by clients compatible with Microsoft Windows(TM).
 
 Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability[2] in the
 smbd daemon could allow an attacker to cause controllable heap
 corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root
 privileges.
 
 In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker must possess
 credentials that allow access to a share on the Samba server. 
 Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will cause the process serving the
 request to crash with signal 11, and may leave evidence of an attack
 in logs.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all Samba users upgrade their packages. This
 update will automatically restart the service if it is already
 running.
