The vulnerability is caused due Samba processes inheriting the "CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE" capability flag, which can be exploited to e.g. read and write to files without having the proper permissions. The vulnerability is reported in versions 3.3.11, 3.4.6, and 3.5.0. Prior versions are not affected. Note: Successful exploitation requires that the system offers support for capabilities and that Samba has been compiled with support for libcap. SOLUTION: Update to version 3.3.12, 3.4.7, and 3.5.1 or apply patches. http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/ -- Patches -- Samba 3.3.11: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.3.11-CVE-2010-0728.patch Samba 3.4.6: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.4.6-CVE-2010-0728.patch Samba 3.5.0: http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/patches/security/samba-3.5.0-CVE-2010-0728.patch PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Andreas Matthus ORIGINAL ADVISORY: http://us1.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2010-0728.html https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7222 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help private users keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
