Subject: Samba Security Vulnerability on IRIX

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

______________________________________________________________________________
                          SGI Security Advisory

Title    : Samba Security Vulnerability
Number   : 20021204-01-I
Date     : December 5, 2002
Reference: CVE CAN-2002-1318
Reference: SGI BUG 874162
Fixed in : Samba v2.2.7
______________________________________________________________________________

- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------

It's been reported that versions of Samba prior to 2.2.7 have a security
vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to gain root access
on the target machine.  The word "potentially" is used because there
is no known exploit of this bug.  SGI has not found one, nor has the Samba
group found one.  Nevertheless, the vulnerability is considered serious.

See http://www.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.7.html for additional
details.

This vulnerability was assigned the following CVE candidate:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-1318

SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for
neutralizing the exposure.  It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be
implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems.

These issues have been corrected in Samba version 2.2.7.


- --------------
- --- Impact ---
- --------------

Samba is an optional product, and is not installed by default on IRIX 6.5
systems.

To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following
command:

  # /bin/uname -R

That will return a result similar to the following:

  # 6.5 6.5.16f

The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this
case) is the extended release name.  The extended release name is the
"version" we refer to throughout this document.

To see if samba is installed, execute the following command:

% versions samba_irix
I = Installed, R = Removed

   Name                 Date        Description

   I  samba_irix           07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 for IRIX
   I  samba_irix.man       07/02/2002  Samba Online Documentation
   I  samba_irix.man.doc   07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 Documentation
   I  samba_irix.man.manpages  07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 Man Page
   I  samba_irix.man.relnotes  07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 Release Notes
   I  samba_irix.src       07/02/2002  Samba Source Code
   I  samba_irix.src.samba 07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 Source Code
   I  samba_irix.sw        07/02/2002  Samba Execution Environment
   I  samba_irix.sw.base   07/02/2002  Samba 2.2.4 Execution Environment

If the result is similar to the above and the version shown is less than
2.2.7, then the system is vulnerable.

- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------

There is no effective workaround available for these problems if Samba is
required.  SGI recommends upgrading to Samba version 2.2.7.


- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------

SGI has provided an instable version of Samba for this vulnerability. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to Samba version 2.2.7.

Samba 2.2.7 can be downloaded from http://www.samba.org/ or
http://freeware.sgi.com/

For customers who have purchased the SGI supported version of Samba,
please contact your SGI Support Representative and request part
number 812-0893-008 -- Samba 2.2.7 for IRIX on CD.

        information.

     2) If you have not received an IRIX 6.5.X CD for IRIX 6.5, contact your
        SGI Support Provider or URL: http://support.sgi.com/irix/swupdates/

     3) This version of IRIX is vulnerable if a version of Samba prior to
