Detail

Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE security audit team found two problems in samba, a popular SMB/CIFS implementation. The problems are:

* a buffer overflow in the SMB/CIFS packet fragment re-assembly code used by smbd. Since smbd runs as root an attacker can use this to gain root access to a machine running smbd.

* the code to write reg files was vulnerable for a chown race which made it possible for a local user to overwrite system files

Both problems have been fixed in upstream version 2.2.8, and version 2.2.3a-12.1 of package for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/woody.

6323 Samba smbd SMB/CIFS Packet Fragment Reassembly Remote Overflow

A remote buffer overflow exists in Samba. The service fails to check a field length inside of the request before using this length in a memcpy() operation, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code to be executed with super-user privileges, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
