Name : samba Product : Fedora 16 Version : 3.6.3 Release : 78.fc16 URL : http://www.samba.org/ Summary : Server and Client software to interoperate with Windows machines Description : Samba is the suite of programs by which a lot of PC-related machines share files, printers, and other information (such as lists of available files and printers). The Windows NT, OS/2, and Linux operating systems support this natively, and add-on packages can enable the same thing for DOS, Windows, VMS, UNIX of all kinds, MVS, and more. This package provides an SMB/CIFS server that can be used to provide network services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This is a security release in order to address CVE-2012-0817 (Memory leak/Denial of service). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jan 30 2012 Andreas Schneider <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.3-78 - Update to 3.6.3 - Fixes CVE-2012-0817 * Mon Dec 5 2011 Andreas Schneider <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.1-77 - Fix winbind cache upgrade. - resolves: #760137 * Fri Nov 18 2011 Andreas Schneider <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.1-76 - Fix piddir to match with systemd files. - Fix crash bug in the debug system. - resolves: #754525 * Fri Nov 4 2011 Andreas Schneider <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.1-75 - Fix systemd dependencies - resolves: #751397 * Wed Oct 26 2011 Andreas Schneider <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.1-74 - Update to 3.6.1 * Tue Oct 4 2011 Guenther Deschner <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.0-73 - Fix nmbd startup - resolves: #741630 * Tue Sep 20 2011 Tom Callaway <[email protected]> - 1:3.6.0-72 - convert to systemd - restore epoch from f15 * Sat Aug 13 2011 Guenther Deschner <[email protected]> - 3.6.0-71 - Update to 3.6.0 final * Sun Jul 31 2011 Guenther Deschner <[email protected]> - 3.6.0rc3-70 - Update to 3.6.0rc3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #785746 - CVE-2012-0817 samba: DoS (smbd crash) due memory leak in management of fds for socket connections https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785746 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
