news 28 Posted August 1, 2014 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] samba (SSA:2014-213-01) New samba packages are available for Slackware 14.1 and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/samba-4.1.11-i486-1_slack14.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes a remote code execution attack on unauthenticated nmbd NetBIOS name services. A malicious browser can send packets that may overwrite the heap of the target nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. It may be possible to use this to generate a remote code execution vulnerability as the superuser (root).
