Slackware: 2018-229-02 Critical: Samba Access Control Flaws

slackware
Calendar Grey August 17, 2018
Dist Slackware Esm H88
The newest Samba revision for Slackware addresses vital concerns regarding directory management and permissions, specifically those impacting secured attributes.
New samba packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.6.16-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This is a security release in order to address the following defects: Insufficient input validation on client directory listing in libsmbclient. A malicious server could return a directory entry that could corrupt libsmbclient memory. Confidential attribute disclosure from the AD LDAP server. Missing access control checks allow discovery of confidential attribute values via authenticated LDAP search expressions. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-10858 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-10919 (* Security fix *)
