Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-460-2 (samba)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to samba
announced via advisory USN-460-2.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

USN-460-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Samba. The upstream changes
for CVE-2007-2444 had an unexpected side-effect in Feisty. Shares
configured with the force group option no longer behaved correctly.
This update corrects the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Paul Griffith and Andrew Hogue discovered that Samba did not fully drop
root privileges while translating SIDs. A remote authenticated user
could issue SMB operations during a small window of opportunity and gain
root privileges. (CVE-2007-2444)

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.04:
samba 3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
