Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 8.04 LTS / 8.10 / 9.04 / 9.10 : samba vulnerability (USN-918-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 45343

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

It was discovered the Samba handled symlinks in an unexpected way when both 'wide links' and 'UNIX extensions' were enabled, which is the default. A remote attacker could create symlinks and access arbitrary files from the server.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
