Major Samba Security Alert
Posted by admin on Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 11:41 PM
Security admin writes "A flaw has been detected in the Samba main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server. This flaw exists in previous versions of Samba from 2.0.x to 2.2.7a inclusive. This is a serious problem and all sites should either upgrade to Samba 2.2.8 immediately or prohibit access to TCP ports 139 and 445.

Everyone upgrade to version 2.2.8 now! Get it here. "
