Debian: DSA 600-1 Moderate: Samba Arbitrary File Access Issue

A vulnerability has been discovered in samba, a commonly used
LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. A remote attacker
may be able to gain access to files which exist outside of the share's
defined path. Such files must still be readable by the account used
for the connection, though.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.3a-14.1.

In the unstable (sid) and testing (sarge) distributions this problem
was not present.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.


Upgrade Instructions
--------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
