Fedora alert FEDORA-2008-4724 (samba)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-4724 2008-05-30 23:41:18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : samba Product : Fedora 9 Version : 3.2.0 Release : 1.rc1.14.fc9 URL : http://www.samba.org/ Summary : The Samba Suite of programs Description : Samba is the suite of programs 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/CIFS server that can be used to provide network services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fix CVE-2008-1105 A heap-based buffer overflow flaw has been found in the way Samba clients handle over-sized packets. If a client connected to a malicious Samba server, it was possible to execute arbitrary code as the Samba client user. The Samba server can also act as a client to perform some operations (print notify, domain member vs domain controler ...). This could result in the server executing the vulnerable client code, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the Samba server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed May 28 2008 Guenther Deschner <gdeschner@redhat.com> - 3.2.0-1.rc1.14 - Add fix for CVE-2008-1105 - resolves: #446724 * Fri May 23 2008 Guenther Deschner <gdeschner@redhat.com> - 3.2.0-1.rc1.13 - Update to 3.2.0rc1 * Wed May 21 2008 Simo Sorce <ssorce@redhat.com> - 3.2.0-1.pre3.12 - make it possible to print against Vista and XP SP3 as servers - resolves: #439154 * Thu May 15 2008 Guenther Deschner <gdeschner@redhat.com> - 3.2.0-1.pre3.11 - Add "net ads join createcomputer=ou1/ou2/ou3" fix (BZO #5465) * Fri May 9 2008 Guenther Deschner <gdeschner@redhat.com> - 3.2.0-1.pre3.10 - Add smbclient fix (BZO #5452) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #446724 - CVE-2008-1105 Samba client buffer overflow https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446724 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
