Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0080

Package name:      samba
Summary:           Remote hole
Date:              2002-11-21
Affected versions: TSL 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
  Samba provides an SMB server which can be used to provide network
  services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients, including
  various versions of MS Windows, OS/2, and other Linux machines. Samba
  uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need NetBEUI
  (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol.
  

Problem description:
  From the Samba 2.2.7 release notes:

  There was a bug in the length checking for encrypted password change
  requests from clients. A client could potentially send an encrypted
  password, which, when decrypted with the old hashed password could be
  used as a buffer overrun attack on the stack of smbd. The attach would
  have to be crafted such that converting a DOS codepage string to little
  endian UCS2 unicode would translate into an executable block of code.

  All versions of Samba between 2.2.2 to 2.2.6 inclusive are vulnerable
  to this problem. This version of Samba 2.2.7 contains a fix for this
  problem.
