-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2001-0006 Package name: samba Severity: Possible alternation of local files and devices Date: 2001-05-25 Affected versions: TSL 1.01, 1.1, 1.2 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem description: Samba up to version 2.0.7 uses mktemp(3) for creation of temporary files. This allows malicious local users to alter contents of other files on the system, and potentially gain superuser privileges. This was originally thought fixed in Samba 2.0.8, but as it turns out, that was not the case. Action: We recommend that all systems with this package installed are upgraded. If you do not need the functionality provided by this package, you may want to remove it from your system. Location: All TSL updates are available from <URI:http://www.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> <URI:ftp://ftp.trustix.net/pub/Trustix/updates/> Automatic updates: Users of the SWUP tool, can enjoy having updates automatically installed using 'swup --upgrade'.
