                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           samba
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:081
Date:                   November 25th, 2002

Affected versions:      8.1, 8.2, 9.0
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability in samba versions 2.2.2 through 2.2.6 was discovered
 by the Debian samba maintainers.  A bug in the length checking for
 encrypted password change requests from clients could be exploited
 using a buffer overrun attack on the smbd stack.  This attack would
 have to crafted in such a way that converting a DOS codepage string to
 little endian UCS2 unicode would translate into an executable block of
 code.
 
 This vulnerability has been fixed in samba version 2.2.7, and the
 updated packages have had a patch applied to fix the problem.
