Slackware: 2023-284-03: samba Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/samba-4.18.8-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This is a security release in order to address the following defects: Unsanitized pipe names allow SMB clients to connect as root to existing unix domain sockets on the file system. SMB client can truncate files to 0 bytes by opening files with OVERWRITE disposition when using the acl_xattr Samba VFS module with the smb.conf setting "acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes" An RODC and a user with the GET_CHANGES right can view all attributes, including secrets and passwords. Additionally, the access check fails open on error conditions. Calls to the rpcecho server on the AD DC can request that the server block for a user-defined amount of time, denying service. Samba can be made to start multiple incompatible RPC listeners, disrupting service on the AD DC. For more information, see: https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2023-3961.html ...
