{"id":"DSA-701-2","summary":"samba - integer overflows","details":"\nIt has been discovered that the last security update for Samba, a\nLanManager like file and printer server for GNU/Linux and Unix-like\nsystems caused the daemon to crash upon reload. This has been fixed.\nFor reference below is the original advisory text:\n\n\n\n\u003e \n\u003e Greg MacManus discovered an integer overflow in the smb daemon from\n\u003e Samba, a LanManager like file and printer server for GNU/Linux and\n\u003e Unix-like systems. Requesting a very large number of access control\n\u003e descriptors from the server could exploit the integer overflow, which\n\u003e may result in a buffer overflow which could lead to the execution of\n\u003e arbitrary code with root privileges. Upstream developers have\n\u003e discovered more possible integer overflows that are fixed with this\n\u003e update as well.\n\u003e \n\u003e \n\u003e \n\n\nFor the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in\nversion 2.2.3a-15.\n\n\nFor the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in\nversion 3.0.10-1.\n\n\nWe recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.\n\n\n","modified":"2022-07-04T02:01:11.299681Z","published":"2005-04-21T00:00:00Z","withdrawn":"2024-05-15T05:36:14.181297Z","schema_version":"1.7.3"}
