Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Two security issues were found in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server :

- CVE-2013-4408 It was discovered that multiple buffer overflows in the processing of DCE-RPC packets may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

- CVE-2013-4475 Hemanth Thummala discovered that ACLs were not checked when opening files with alternate data streams. This issue is only exploitable if the VFS modules vfs_streams_depot and/or vfs_streams_xattr are used.

Solution

Upgrade the samba packages.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze11.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.6-6+deb7u2.
