Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
Samba contains a buffer overflow vulnerability potentially resulting in |
22 |
the execution of arbitrary code. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Samba is a suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs for UNIX. |
28 |
|
29 |
Affected packages |
30 |
================= |
31 |
|

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Alin Rad Pop (Secunia Research) discovered a boundary checking error in |
41 |
the send_mailslot() function which could lead to a stack-based buffer |
42 |
overflow. |
43 |
|
44 |
Impact |
45 |
====== |
46 |
|
47 |
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted "SAMLOGON" domain |
48 |
logon packet, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with |
49 |
elevated privileges. Note that this vulnerability is exploitable only |
50 |
when domain logon support is enabled in Samba, which is not the case in |
51 |
Gentoo's default configuration. |
52 |
|
53 |
Workaround |
54 |
========== |
55 |
|
56 |
Disable domain logon in Samba by setting "domain logons = no" in the |
57 |
"global" section of your smb.conf and restart Samba. |
58 |
|
59 |
Resolution |
60 |
========== |
61 |
|
62 |
All Samba users should upgrade to the latest version: |
63 |
|
64 |
# emerge --sync |
65 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.28" |
66 |
|
