Debian DSA-600-1 : samba - arbitrary file access

high Nessus Plugin ID 15690

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in samba, a commonly used LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. A remote attacker may be able to gain access to files which exist outside of the share's defined path. Such files must still be readable by the account used for the connection, though.

Solution

Upgrade the samba packages.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.3a-14.1.

In the unstable (sid) and testing (sarge) distributions this problem was not present.
