[slackware-security]  samba (SSA:2017-082-02)

New samba packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current
to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/samba-4.4.12-i586-1_slack14.2.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes a security issue:
  All versions of Samba prior to 4.6.1, 4.5.7, 4.4.12 are vulnerable to
  a malicious client using a symlink race to allow access to areas of
  the server file system not exported under the share definition.
  For more information, see:
