Samba Pre-2.0.5 Vulnerabilities
There were a number of vulnerabilities in the Samba package pre-2.0.5. The first is a possible denial of service in nmbd (the netbios name service daemon), which resulted in nmbd spinning until killed. The second vulnerability known is a possible buffer overflow problem in smbd which is not exploit in the default install/configuration. A function in the messaging system could be exploited and arbitrary code executed as root if the "message command" was set in smb.conf. There was also a race condition vulnerability which could possible allow an attacker to mount arbitrary points in the filesystem if smbmnt was setuid root (which it is not by default). |
