OpenPKG Security Advisory The OpenPKG Project http://www.openpkg.org/security.html http://www.openpkg.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPKG-SA-2004.054 17-Dec-2004 ________________________________________________________________________ Package: samba Vulnerability: denial of service, arbitrary code execution OpenPKG Specific: no Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages: OpenPKG CURRENT <= samba-3.0.9-20041119 >= samba-3.0.10-20041216 OpenPKG 2.2 <= samba-3.0.7-2.2.0 >= samba-3.0.7-2.2.1 OpenPKG 2.1 <= samba-3.0.4-2.1.2 >= samba-3.0.4-2.1.3 Dependent Packages: none Description: Several vulnerabilities exist in the Samba SMB/CIFS server [1]. The OpenPKG team applied official patches where available and backported others to address all known issues. According to a security advisory [2] from Stefan Esser a Unicode filename buffer overflow within the handling of "TRANSACT2_QFILEPATHINFO" replies was discovered that allows remote execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-0882 [4] to the problem. A problem in the ms_fnmatch() function allows remote authenticated users to consume excessive CPU horsepower and cause a denial of service via a SMB request that contains multiple asterisk characters. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-0930 [5] to the problem. According to a security advisory [3] from the Samba team, an integer overflow vulnerability in the "smbd" daemon could allow an attacker to cause controllable heap corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-1154 [6] to the problem. Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -q samba". If you have the "samba" package installed and its version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it (see Solution) [7][8]. Solution: Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release [9][10], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [11][12] or a mirror location, verify its integrity [13], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [7] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [8]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.2, perform the following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust accordingly). $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org ftp> bin ftp> cd release/2.2/UPD ftp> get samba-3.0.7-2.2.1.src.rpm ftp> bye $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig samba-3.0.7-2.2.1.src.rpm $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild samba-3.0.7-2.2.1.src.rpm $ su - # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/samba-3.0.7-2.2.1.*.rpm ________________________________________________________________________ References: [1] http://www.samba.org/ [2] http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/132004.html [3] http://us4.samba.org/samba/security/CAN-2004-1154.html [4] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0882 [5] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0930 [6] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1154 [7] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-source [8] http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#regular-binary [9] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.2/UPD/samba-3.0.7-2.2.1.src.rpm [10] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.1/UPD/samba-3.0.4-2.1.3.src.rpm [11] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.2/UPD/ [12] ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.1/UPD/ [13] http://www.openpkg.org/security.html#signature ________________________________________________________________________ For security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the OpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the OpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and hkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
