Slackware 14.0 & 14.1: SSA:2013-322-03 Critical: Samba Security Fix

Calendar Grey November 19, 2013
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated samba software for Slackware resolves security flaws found in versions 14.0 and 14.1!
New samba packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.1.1-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes two security issues: * Samba versions 3.2.0 and above do not check the underlying file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream. * In setups which provide ldap(s) and/or https services, the private key for SSL/TLS encryption might be world readable. This typically happens in active directory domain controller setups. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-4475 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-4476 (* Security fix *) Added tdb.h, tdb.pc, and a libtdb.so symlink. Thanks to Matteo Bernardini.
