  • (7 Apr, 2003) Security Advisory - Samba 2.2.8a security available for download

    Digital Defense, Inc. has alerted the Samba Team to a serious vulnerability in all stable versions of Samba currently shipping. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the ID CAN-2003-0201 to this defect.

    This vulnerability, if exploited correctly, leads to an anonymous user gaining root access on a Samba serving system. All versions of Samba up to and including Samba 2.2.8 are vulnerable. An active exploit of the bug has been reported in the wild. Alpha versions of Samba 3.0 and above are *NOT* vulnerable.

    The 2.2.8a release contains only updates to address this security issue. A rollup patch for release 2.2.7a and 2.0.10 addressing both CAN-2003-0201 and CAN-2003-0085 can be obtained from this directory.

    The source tarball is available in both gzip format and bzip2 format. The uncompressed tarball signature should also be downloaded to verify the archive's integrity. Here is the Samba Distribution Key for verifying the tarball. Finally, here is the patchfile against 2.2.8 (signature).

    If you suspect your system may have been attacked, please consult the AusCERT/CERT checklist for responding to a suspected compromise. Please contact security at samba.org if your machine has been attacked.

  • (31 Mar, 2003) Samba-3.0alpha23 available for download

  • (14th Mar, 2003) Security Release - Samba 2.2.8

    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. The Release Notes are available on-line.

    In addition to addressing this security issue, Samba 2.2.8 includes many unrelated improvements. These improvements result from our process of continuous quality assurance and code review, and are part of the Samba team's committment to excellence.

    The source tarballs are available in both gzip format and bzip2 format. The uncompressed tarball signature should also be downloaded to verify the archive's integrity. Here is the Samba Distribution Key for verifying the tarball. Finally, here is the patchfile against 2.2.7a (signature).

  • (26th Nov, 2002) Samba 3.0 alpha21 Snapshot released for testing
  • (20th Nov, 2002) Security Release - Samba 2.2.7

    A security hole has been discovered in versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.6 of Samba that could potentially allow an attacker to gain root access on the target machine. The word "potentially" is used because there is no known exploit of this bug, and the Samba Team has not been able to craft one ourselves. However, the seriousness of the problem warrants this immediate 2.2.7 release.

    In addition to addressing this security issue, Samba 2.2.7 also includes thirteen unrelated improvements. These improvements result from our process of continuous quality assurance and code review, and are part of the Samba team's committment to excellence.
