Synopsis:	Critical: samba security and bug fix update
Issue date:	2010-09-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-3069

NOTE: This errata went out 2010-09-15, but this email was not sent.

A missing array boundary checking flaw was found in the way Samba parsed
the binary representation of Windows security identifiers (SIDs). A
malicious client could send a specially-crafted SMB request to the Samba
server, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the
Samba server (smbd). (CVE-2010-3069)

For Scientific Linux 4, this update also fixes the following bug:

* Previously, the restorecon utility was required during the
installationof the samba-common package. As a result, attempting to
update sambawithout this utility installed may have failed with the
following error:

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.[xxxxx]: line 7: restorecon: command not found

With this update, the utility is only used when it is already present on
the system, and the package is now always updated as expected. (BZ#629602)

After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted
automatically.
