CVE-2015-7560
Jeremy Allison of Google, Inc. and the Samba Team discovered that
Samba incorrectly handles getting and setting ACLs on a symlink
path. An authenticated malicious client can use SMB1 UNIX extensions
to create a symlink to a file or directory, and then use non-UNIX
SMB1 calls to overwrite the contents of the ACL on the file or
directory linked to.
CVE-2016-0771
Garming Sam and Douglas Bagnall of Catalyst IT discovered that Samba
is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds read issue during DNS TXT record
handling, if Samba is deployed as an AD DC and chosen to run the
internal DNS server. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (Samba crash), or potentially, to allow
leakage of memory from the server in the form of a DNS TXT reply.
Additionally this update includes a fix for a regression introduced due
to the upstream fix for CVE-2015-5252 in DSA-3433-1 in setups where the
share path is '/'.
