The SuSE security team, during an audit of the Samba source code, found a flaw in the main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain root privilege on a system running the Samba server. This flaw exists in all version of Samba 2.x up to and including 2.2.7a. The Samba team announced 2.2.8 today, however these updated packages include a patch that corrects this problem.

Date:                   March 15th, 2003

Affected versions:	8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1,

Problem Description:

 The SuSE security team, during an audit of the Samba source code, found
 a flaw in the main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to
 remotely and anonymously gain root privilege on a system running the
 Samba server.  This flaw exists in all version of Samba 2.x up to and
 including 2.2.7a.  The Samba team announced 2.2.8 today, however these
 updated packages include a patch that corrects this problem.
 
 MandrakeSoft urges all users to upgrade immediately.  If you are unable
 to apply the updated packages (perhaps due to unavailability on your
 preferred mirror), the following steps can be taken to protect an
 unpatched system:
 
 The "hosts allow" and "hosts deny" options in the smb.conf file can
 be used to allow access to your Samba server by only selected hosts; for
 example:
 
    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
    hosts deny  = 0.0.0.0/0
 
 This will disallow all connections from machines that are not the 
 localhost or in the 192.168.2 and 192.168.3 private networks.
 Alternatively, you can tell Samba to listen to only specific network
 interfaces by using the "interfaces" and "bind interfaces only"
 options:
 
   interfaces = eth1 lo
   bind interfaces only = yes
 
 Obviously, use the internal interface for your network and not an
 external interface connected to the internet.  You may also choose to
 firewall off some UDP and TCP ports in addition to the previously
 mentioned suggestions by blocking external access to ports 137 and 138
 (UDP) and ports 139 and 445 (TCP).
 
 These steps should only be used as a temporary preventative measure
 and all users should upgrade as quickly as possible.
 
 Thanks to Sebastian Krahmer and the SuSE security team for performing
 the audit, Jeremy Allison for providing the fix, and Andrew Tridgell
 for providing advice on how to protect an unpatched Samba system.
