CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : samba
SUMMARY : Temporary file vulnerability
DATE : 2001-04-19 15:58:00
ID : CLA-2001:395
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
Samba is a file server for Windows 9x/NT <-> Unix interoperability
over the SMB protocol.
Versions below 2.0.8 have a temporary file vulnerability which could
be used by a remote attacker with a local account on the server to
corrupt block devices such as a hard disk (/dev/hda).

SOLUTION
All Samba users should upgrade immediately. After the upgrade, the
SMB service must be restarted (/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart).

We would like to thank Marcus Meissner for identifying the problem
and the Samba maintainers for issuing a new version.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
Users of Conectiva Linux version 6.0 or higher may use apt to perform
upgrades of RPM packages:
- add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list if it is not there yet
(you may also use linuxconf to do this):

rpm [cncbr] ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br 6.0/conectiva updates

(replace 6.0 with the correct version number if you are not running CL6.0)

- run: apt-get update
- after that, execute: apt-get upgrade

Detailed instructions reagarding the use of apt and upgrade examples
can be found at http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/#apt?idioma=en
