Slackware 10.0 / current : alternate samba package for Slackware 10.0 (SSA:2004-208-01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 18764

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

It was pointed out that the new Samba packages for Slackware 10.0 (and -current) have a dependency on libattr.so that wasn't in the previous packages. Since it's not the intent to introduce new requirements in security patches (especially for stable versions), an alternate version of the samba package is being made available that does not require libattr.so. The original samba-3.0.5-i486-1.tgz package for Slackware 10.0 will also remain in the patches directory (at least for now, since it was just referenced in a security advisory and the URL to it should remain working), and because the original package works fine if the xfsprogs package (which contains libattr) is installed. If you're running a full installation or have xfsprogs installed, you do not need to update samba again.

Solution

Update the affected samba package.
