Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:062 (samba)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to samba announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:062. 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. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, Corporate Server 1.0.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2001:062 http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/macroexploit.html http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High
