Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT <= samba-3.0.6-20040820 >= samba-3.0.7-20040913

Dependent Packages: none
Description:
According to a security advisory [1] from the Samba team and two
corresponding security advisories [2][3] from iDEFENSE, two Denial of
Service (DoS) vulnerabilities exists in the Samba SMB/CIFS server [0].
The first DoS bug is in smbd(8) and may allow an unauthenticated user
to cause smbd(8) to spawn new processes, each one entering an infinite
loop. After sending a sufficient amount of packets it is possible to
exhaust the memory resources on the server. The second DoS bug in
nmbd(8) may allow an attacker to remotely crash the nmbd(8) daemon.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the
ids CAN-2004-0807 [4] and CAN-2004-0808 [5] to the problems.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/openpkg
rpm -q samba". If you have the "samba" package installed and its
version is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately
upgrade it (see Solution) [6][7].
Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[8], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [9] or a mirror location,
verify its integrity [10], build a corresponding binary RPM from it
[6] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM
[7]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.1, perform the following
operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/2.1/UPD
ftp> get samba-3.0.4-2.1.2.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig samba-3.0.4-2.1.2.src.rpm
$ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild samba-3.0.4-2.1.2.src.rpm
$ su -
# <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/samba-3.0.4-2.1.2.*.rpm
