Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory
Synopsis: New Samba packages for Red Hat Linux 4.2, 5.2, 6.0
Advisory ID: RHSA-1999:022-01
Issue date: 1999-07-22
Updated on:
Keywords: samba smbd nmbd security
Cross references:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Samba 2.0.5a has been released. Among the fixes in this release
are several security issues present in previous Samba releases.
2. Bug IDs fixed:
1321 2557 2625 2779 2923 2982 3715
3. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 6.0, all architectures
Red Hat Linux 5.2, all architectures
Red Hat Linux 4.2, all architectures
4. Obsoleted by:
5. Conflicts with:
The smbmount code shipped with Samba 2.0 is not compatible
with the Linux 2.2 kernel, so it has not been built for
the Red Hat Linux 4.2 and 5.2 releases. If support for
the 2.2 kernel is needed under Red Hat Linux 4.2 or 5.2,
the source RPM can be rebuilt with the following command line
(RPM version 3.0 is required):
rpm --define "KERN22 yes" --rebuild samba-2.0.5a-<release>.src.rpm
6. RPMs required:
Red Hat Linux 6.0:

7. Problem description:
Several security issues were present in earlier samba releases.
- a denial-of-service attack could be performed against nmbd.
- a buffer overflow was present in the message service in smbd
(not enabled by default under Red Hat Linux)
- a race condition was present in smbmnt that could cause problems
if installed setuid root (it is not installed setuid root by
default under Red Hat Linux 6.0, and is not present under Red
Hat Linux 4.2 or 5.2)
Thanks go to Olaf Kirch (okir@caldera.de) for discovering the
security holes, as well as the Samba team.
8. Solution:
Install the updated RPMs, and restart the affected services by
running:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Uvh <filename>
where filename is the name of the RPM.
9. Verification:
MD5 sum Package Name
