                Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           samba
Date:                   April 20th, 2001
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:040

Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability found by Marcus Meissner exists in Samba where it was
 not creating temporary files safely which could allow local users to
 overwrite files that they may not have access to.  This happens when a
 remote user queried a printer queue and samba would create a temporary
 file in which the queue's data was written.  Because Samba created the
 file insecurely and used a predictable filename, a local attacker could
 cause Samba to overwrite files that the attacker did not have access
 to.  As well, the smbclient "more" and "mput" commands also created
 temporary files insecurely.

 The vulnerability is present in Samba 2.0.7 and lower.  2.0.8 and 2.2.0
 correct this behaviour.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package.  You can do this with the command:
  rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:

  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 8.0, look for it in "updates/8.0/RPMS/".  Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
