Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67420
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:090-1 (samba)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to samba
announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:090-1.

Multiple vulnerabilies has been found and corrected in samba:

client/mount.cifs.c in mount.cifs in smbfs in Samba does not verify
that the (1) device name and (2) mountpoint strings are composed of
valid characters, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(mtab corruption) via a crafted string (CVE-2010-0547).

client/mount.cifs.c in mount.cifs in smbfs in Samba allows local users
to mount a CIFS share on an arbitrary mountpoint, and gain privileges,
via a symlink attack on the mountpoint directory file (CVE-2010-0787).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Update:

It was discovered that the previous Samba update required libtalloc
from Samba4 package. Therefore, this update provides the required
packages in order to fix the issue.

Affected: 2010.0

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