opensuse
Calendar Grey February 25, 2015
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
Significant samba security patch released for openSUSE tackling privilege elevation and program vulnerabilities with crucial evaluations.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

samba was updated to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2015-0240: Ensure we don't call talloc_free on an uninitialized

pointer (bnc#917376).

- CVE-2014-8143: Samba 4.0.x before 4.0.24, 4.1.x before 4.1.16, and 4.2.x

before 4.2rc4, when an Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) is

configured, allowed remote authenticated users to set the LDB

userAccountControl UF_SERVER_TRUST_ACCOUNT bit, and consequently gain

privileges, by leveraging delegation of authority for user-account or

computer-account creation (bnc#914279).

Several non-security issues were fixed, please refer to the changes file.
