    Package : samba
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local/remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : none
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-2948 CVE-2009-2906 CVE-2009-2813

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in samba, an implementation of
    the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with other operating systems and more. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    The mount.cifs utility is missing proper checks for file permissions when
    used in verbose mode. This allows local users to partly disclose the
    content of arbitrary files by specifying the file as credentials file and attempting to mount a samba share (CVE-2009-2948).

    A reply to an oplock break notification which samba doesn't expect could
    lead to the service getting stuck in an infinite loop. An attacker
    can use this to perform denial of service attacks via a specially crafted
    SMB request (CVE-2009-2906).

    A lack of error handling in case no home diretory was configured/specified
    for the user could lead to file disclosure. In case the automated [homes] share is enabled or an explicit share is created with that username, samba fails to enforce sharing restrictions which results in an attacker being
    able to access the file system from the root directory (CVE-2009-2813).


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2:3.2.5-4lenny7.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2:3.4.2-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
