Samba 4.24.0 released

Software 44207 Published 2026-03-18 16:42 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Samba team has released version 4.24 as the first stable update for this series, bringing essential security hardening to Linux-based Active Directory controllers. Defaulting to AES encryption types and enforcing stricter certificate bindings helps plug vulnerabilities that previously allowed attackers to exploit weaker authentication protocols. Administrators will find the new samba-tool commands for managing Windows Hello keys particularly useful alongside improved compatibility with cloud password reset systems like Entra ID. It remains a solid upgrade for any server acting as a domain controller, provided administrators review their smb.conf settings to ensure legacy clients do not get locked out by the stricter Kerberos policies.

Roundcube Webmail 1.5.14, 1.6.14, and 1.7 RC5 released

Software 44207 Published 2026-03-18 16:30 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Roundcube Webmail has released new versions to patch several critical vulnerabilities that could compromise user accounts and mail servers. Administrators should update production installations immediately because flaws exist that allow attackers to change passwords without knowing the old credentials. The fixes also address dangerous issues like IMAP injection and XSS bugs in HTML previews that might let scripts run inside the client interface. Backing up data before applying these changes remains a necessary precaution since skipping them leaves the system exposed to known exploits.

Linux kernel updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7020 Published 2026-03-17 06:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Three separate Ubuntu security notices were published to fix critical vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel. These updates address hardware drivers and file systems for both newer editions alongside older long term support releases. Security researchers identified that unprivileged local attackers could exploit the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module to potentially gain elevated privileges or access sensitive data on affected systems. System administrators must update their package versions immediately and reboot because an unavoidable ABI change requires recompiling third party kernel modules you might have installed previously.
