Advisories MDKSA-2007:104-1: Updated samba packages fix multiple vulnerabilities


Recommended Posts

A number of bugs were discovered in the NDR parsing support in Samba

that is used to decode MS-RPC requests. A remote attacker could

send a carefully crafted request that would cause a heap overflow,

possibly leading to the ability to execute arbitrary code on the server

(CVE-2007-2446).

 

A remote authenticated user could trigger a flaw where unescaped

user input parameters were being passed as arguments to /bin/sh

(CVE-2007-2447).

 

Finally, on Samba 3.0.23d and higher, when Samba translated SID to/from

name using the Samba local list of user and group accounts, a logic

error in smbd's internal security stack could result in a transition

to the root user id rather than the non-root user (CVE-2007-2444).

 

Update:

 

The fix for CVE-2007-2444 broke the behaviour of force group when

the forced group is a local Unix group for domain member servers.

 

This update corrects that regression.
