Synopsis |
| 19 |
======== |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Samba is vulnerable to a remote denial of service attack due to out of |
| 22 |
sequence print change notification requests. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Background |
| 25 |
========== |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Samba is a freely available SMB/CIFS implementation which allows |
| 28 |
seamless interoperability of file and print services to other SMB/CIFS |
| 29 |
clients. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Affected packages |
| 32 |
================= |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 35 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 36 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 37 |
1 net-fs/samba < 3.0.6 >= 3.0.6 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Description |
| 40 |
=========== |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Due to a bug in the printer_notify_info() function, authorized users |
| 43 |
could potentially crash the Samba server by sending improperly handled |
| 44 |
print change notification requests in an invalid order. Windows XP SP2 |
| 45 |
clients can trigger this behavior by sending a |
| 46 |
FindNextPrintChangeNotify() request before previously sending a |
| 47 |
FindFirstPrintChangeNotify() request. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
A remote authorized user could potentially crash a Samba server after |
| 53 |
issuing these out of sequence requests. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Workaround |
| 56 |
========== |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
Resolution |
| 61 |
========== |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
# emerge sync |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
# emerge -pv ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.6" |
| 68 |
# emerge ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.6" |
| 69 |
|
