Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2004-208-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'alternate' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-208-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'alternate' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-208-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was pointed out that the new Samba packages for Slackware 10.0 (and -current) have a dependency on libattr.so that wasn't in the previous packages. Since it's not the intent to introduce new requirements in security patches (especially for stable versions), an alternate version of the samba package is being made available that does not require libattr.so. The original samba-3.0.5-i486-1.tgz package for Slackware 10.0 will also remain in the patches directory (at least for now, since it was just referenced in a security advisory and the URL to it should remain working), and because the original package works fine if the xfsprogs package (which contains libattr) is installed. If you're running a full installation or have xfsprogs installed, you do not need to update samba again. Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ Mon Jul 26 14:10:01 PDT 2004 patches/packages/samba-3.0.5-i486-2.tgz: Rebuilt using --with-acl-support=no to avoid a dependency on libattr (found in the xfsprogs package). Thanks to Fredrik, Naresh Donti, and Dimitar Katerinski for pointing this out. It wasn't intentional (only the version number changed in the build script). +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'alternate' package(s) on Slackware 10.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
