slackware
Calendar Grey November 30, 2023
Dist Slackware Esm H88
The latest Samba patches for Slackware address a security flaw regarding potential leakage of sensitive data. Ensure you adhere to the upgrade guidelines to maintain your system's integrity.
New samba packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.18.9-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This is a security release in order to address the following defect: An information leak vulnerability was discovered in Samba's LDAP server. Due to missing access control checks, an authenticated but unprivileged attacker could discover the names and preserved attributes of deleted objects in the LDAP store. Upgrading to this package will not prevent this information leak - if you are using Samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller, you will need to follow the instructions in the samba.org link given below. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-14628 (* Security fix *)
