========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1182-1 August 02, 2011 samba vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Summary: An attacker could use a malicious URL to reconfigure Samba or steal information. Software Description: - samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix Details: Yoshihiro Ishikawa discovered that the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) was vulnerable to cross-site request forgeries (CSRF). If a Samba administrator were tricked into clicking a link on a specially crafted web page, an attacker could trigger commands that could modify the Samba configuration. (CVE-2011-2522) Nobuhiro Tsuji discovered that the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) did not properly sanitize its input when processing password change requests, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2011-2694) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 11.04: swat 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.3 Ubuntu 10.10: swat 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.5 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: swat 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.7 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: swat 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.15 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
