Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : samba (MDKSA-2007:224-3)

high Nessus Plugin ID 28274

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The samba developers discovered that nmbd could be made to overrun a buffer during the processing of GETDC logon server requests. If samba is configured as a Primary or Backup Domain Controller, this could be used by a remote attacker to send malicious logon requests and possibly cause a denial of service (CVE-2007-4572).

As well, Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research found that nmbd did not properly check the length of netbios packets. If samba is configured as a WINS server, this could be used by a remote attacker able to send multiple crafted requests to nmbd, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges (CVE-2007-5398).

Update :

This update corrects all known regressions with previous Samba updates due to the security fixes to correct CVE-2007-4572.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
