Debian Linux Security Advisory 1409-2

Debian Security Advisory 1409-2 – The previous security update for samba introduced regressions in the handling of the depreciated filesystem smbfs. This update fixes the regression(s) whilst still fixing the security problems. Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in samba, a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research discovered that nmbd did not properly check the length of netbios packets. When samba is configured as a WINS server, a remote attacker could send multiple crafted requests resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. Samba developers discovered that nmbd could be made to overrun a buffer during the processing of GETDC logon server requests. When samba is configured as a Primary or Backup Domain Controller, a remote attacker could send malicious logon requests and possibly cause a denial of service.
