                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           samba
Date:                   June 29th, 2001
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2001:062

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

Problem Description:

 Michal Zalewski has found a vulnerability in all versions of Samba 
 prior to 2.0.10 where if a client sends an invalid netbios name Samba 
 could be tricked into appending it's log to files writable by root.  
 This can be very dangerous if combined with a symlink created by a 
 local user.  Note that the log files must be specified as %m.log in 
 order for this to work, and Mandrake Linux ships Samba by default 
 using log.%m, thus it is not vulnerable "out of the box".

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 Mandrake Linux 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
Mandrake Linux 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.
