Package description:
Samba provides an SMB server which can be used to provide network
services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients, including
various versions of MS Windows, OS/2, and other Linux machines. Samba
uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need NetBEUI
(Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.Samba-2 features an almost
working NT Domain Control capability and includes the new SWAT (Samba
Web Administration Tool) that allows samba's smb.conf file to be
remotely managed using your favourite web browser.
Problem description:
A security vulnerability has been located in Samba 2.2.x <= 2.2.11 and
Samba 3.0.x <= 3.0.5. A remote attacker may be able to gain access to
files which exist outside of the share's defined path. Such files must
still be readable by the account used for the connection.
This has been assigned CAN-2004-0815 by the CVE.
