Fedora Core 3: samba-3.0.9-1 Critical Advisory for Samba Threats

Samba is the protocol 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 server that can be used to provide network services to

SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over

TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw

NetBIOS frame) protocol.

This update closes two security holes: CAN-2004-0882 and CAN-2004-0930.
