Slackware: 2014-175-04: samba Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.1.9-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes bugs and security issues, including a flaw in Samba's internal DNS server which can be exploited to cause a denial of service, a flaw in SRV_SNAPSHOT_ARRAY that permits attackers to leverage configurations that use shadow_copy* for vfs objects to reveal potentially private server information, a denial of service on the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon, and a denial of service crash involving overwriting memory on an authenticated connection to the smbd file server. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0178 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0239 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0244 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-3493 (* Security fix *)
