Title:	Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2002-0080 (samba)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory TSLSA-2002-0080. From the Samba 2.2.7 release notes: There was a bug in the length checking for encrypted password change requests from clients. A client could potentially send an encrypted password, which, when decrypted with the old hashed password could be used as a buffer overrun attack on the stack of smbd. The attach would have to be crafted such that converting a DOS codepage string to little endian UCS2 unicode would translate into an executable block of code. All versions of Samba between 2.2.2 to 2.2.6 inclusive are vulnerable to this problem. This version of Samba 2.2.7 contains a fix for this problem. Solution: Update your system with the packages as indicated in the referenced security advisory. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=TSLSA-2002-0080 Risk factor : High
