-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] samba (SSA:2009-276-01) New samba packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, and -current to fix security issues. More details about the issues may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2813 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2948 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2906 Here are the details from the Slackware 13.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/samba-3.2.15-i486-1_slack13.0.txz: This update fixes the following security issues. A misconfigured /etc/passwd with no defined home directory could allow security restrictions to be bypassed. mount.cifs could allow a local user to read the first line of an arbitrary file if installed setuid. (On Slackware, it was not installed setuid) Specially crafted SMB requests could cause a denial of service. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2813 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2948 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2906 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading directly from ftp.slackware.com. Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
