Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: samba, samba-client, samba-common
Affected products: Immunix OS 6.2, 7.0-beta, and 7.0
Bugs fixed: immunix/1649
Date: Tue Jun 26 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-027-01
Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@wirex.com>

Description:
Michal Zalewski has found a weakness in the Samba suit of SMB protocol
(Windows and LANManager file and printer sharing) programs that allow
local and remote users to append to files writable by root, as long as
the path from /var/log/samba is no more than 15 characters long. The
easiest way to reach arbitrary files is by using a symbolic link in
/tmp; this attack is stopped on Immunix 7.0 (and 6.2 with our kernel
updates) because they use Solar Designer's Openwall kernel patch.
However, users with sufficiently short usernames could use their own
home directories for symlinks.
The problem can be mitigated by removing all references to %m from
the samba configuration file, /etc/samba/smb.conf until upgrading.
We suggest upgrading immediately.
Thanks to Michal Zalewski for finding this problem, and thanks to
the Samba team for their rapid response.
