    Subject:		samba /tmp problems
    Advisory number: 	CSSA-2001-018.0
    Issue date: 		2001 May, 18
    Cross reference:	CSSA-2001-015.0

    1. Problem Description
    
       The previous Samba update fixed several places within the
       samba server code that allowed local attackers to gain root
       access.
    
       Unfortunately the patch used was slightly incorrect and did not
       fix the problem completely.
    
       The Samba 2.0.9 release fixes this problem, this security
       update backports it to our released Samba packages.
