Scientific Linux Security Update : samba on SL5.x, SL4.x, SL3.x i386/x86_64

critical Nessus Plugin ID 60180

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Various bugs were found in NDR parsing, used to decode MS-RPC requests in Samba. A remote attacker could have sent carefully crafted requests causing a heap overflow, which may have led to the ability to execute arbitrary code on the server. (CVE-2007-2446)

Unescaped user input parameters were being passed as arguments to /bin/sh. A remote, authenticated, user could have triggered this flaw and executed arbitrary code on the server. Additionally on Scientific Linux 5 this flaw could be triggered by a remote unauthenticated user if Samba was configured to use the non-default 'username map script' option. (CVE-2007-2447)

Solution

Update the affected packages.
