Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50515
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:035 (samba)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to samba
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:035.

A vulnerability was discovered in samba where a local user could use
the smbmnt utility, which is shipped suid root, to mount a file share
from a remote server which would contain a setuid program under the
control of the user. By executing this setuid program, the local user
could elevate their privileges on the local system.

The updated packages are patched to prevent this problem. The version
of samba shipped with Mandrakelinux 10.0 does not have this problem.

Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2


Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
