Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2013-4408 CVE-2013-4475
Two security issues were found in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and
login server:
CVE-2013-4408
It was discovered that multiple buffer overflows in the processing
of DCE-RPC packets may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2013-4475
Hemanth Thummala discovered that ACLs were not checked when opening
files with alternate data streams. This issue is only exploitable
if the VFS modules vfs_streams_depot and/or vfs_streams_xattr are
used.
For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze11.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.6.6-6+deb7u2.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.
