Calendar Grey June 27, 2009
Scroller Slackware
Crucial Samba patch released for Slackware fixing severe vulnerabilities affecting all versions from 10.0 to -current.
New samba packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 12.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-3.2.13-i486-1_slack12.2.tgz: Upgraded. This upgrade fixes the following security issues: o CVE-2009-1888: In Samba 3.0.31 to 3.3.5 (inclusive), an uninitialized read of a data value can potentially affect access control when "dos filemode" is set to "yes". o CVE-2009-1886: In Samba 3.2.0 to 3.2.12 (inclusive), the smbclient commands dealing with file names treat user input as a format string to asprintf. With a maliciously crafted file name smbclient can be made to execute code triggered by the server. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1888 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2009-1886 (* Security fix *)

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
