From: Pat Riehecky 
Subject: Security ERRATA Moderate: samba and samba3x on SL5.x,
 SL6.x i386/srpm/x86_64
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Moderate: samba and samba3x security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0330-1
Issue Date: 2014-03-25
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-6150
 CVE-2013-4496
--

It was found that certain Samba configurations did not enforce the
password lockout mechanism. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
perform password guessing attacks on Samba user accounts. Note: this flaw
only affected Samba when deployed as a Primary Domain Controller.
(CVE-2013-4496)

A flaw was found in the way the pam_winbind module handled configurations
that specified a non-existent group as required. An authenticated user
could possibly use this flaw to gain access to a service using pam_winbind
in its PAM configuration when group restriction was intended for access to
the service. (CVE-2012-6150)

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