Fedora alert FEDORA-2008-4797 (samba)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-4797 2008-05-30 23:48:28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : samba Product : Fedora 7 Version : 3.0.28a Release : 1.fc7 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Use su -c 'yum update samba' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key. More details on the GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/keys -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-announce mailing list Fedora-package-announce@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-ann...
