Hello, Today the Samba Team released updated Samba packages that fix the "Badlock" security issue, and additional related man-in-the-middle and denial-of-service issues:
http://badlock.org/ Since the fixes for these issues are massive, and newer versions of Samba contain other interoperability and security improvements, we have decided to upgrade Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 15.10 to Samba 4.3.8. For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, we will be updating to 3.6.25 and adding backported fixes for these issues provided by Andreas Schneider, Ralph Böhme, Stefan Metzmacher, Günther Deschner and Aurélien Aptel. If you are running Samba in your environment, please backup your configuration and databases and help test the packages currently available in the security team PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-security-proposed/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages These updated packages may introduce incompatible changes and may require configuration adjustments depending on your environment. Please report any regressions found in the following tracking bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1569497 If no issues are reported, we plan on releasing the packages as security updates in a week. Thanks, Marc. -- Marc Deslauriers Ubuntu Security Engineer | http://www.ubuntu.com/ Canonical Ltd. | http://www.canonical.com/ -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
