Name : samba Product : Fedora 17 Version : 3.6.5 Release : 85.fc17.1 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: Security Release, fixes CVE-2012-2111 This fixes smbd and nmbd startup issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #817551 - CVE-2012-2111 samba: Incorrect permission checks when granting/removing privileges [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=817551 [ 2 ] Bug #751625 - Samba does not work https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751625 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
