Debian DLA-951-1 : samba security update (SambaCry)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 100390

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

steelo discovered a remote code execution vulnerability in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. A malicious client with access to a writable share, can take advantage of this flaw by uploading a shared library and then cause the server to load and execute it.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u13.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
