| Description: | A vulnerability has been discovered in samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. The sid_parse function does not correctly check its input lengths when reading a binary representation of a Windows SID. This allows a malicious client to send a sid that can overflow the stack variable that is being used to store the SID in the Samba smbd server. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 2:3.2.5-4lenny13. For the testing distribution and the unstable distribution, this problem will be fixed in version 3.5.5~dfsg-1. We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages. The packages for the mips architecture are not included in this upgrade. They will be released as soon as they become available. |
