Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3353-2
July 14, 2017
samba vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 17.04
- Ubuntu 16.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Samba could allow unintended access to network services.
Software Description:
- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
Details:
USN-3353-1 fixed a vulnerability in Heimdal. This update provides
the corresponding update for Samba.
Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Dukhovni, and Nicolas Williams discovered
that Samba clients incorrectly trusted unauthenticated portions of
Kerberos tickets. A remote attacker could use this to impersonate
trusted network servers or perform other attacks.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.04:
samba-libs 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.4
Ubuntu 16.10:
samba-libs 2:4.4.5+dfsg-2ubuntu5.8
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
samba-libs 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.9
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
samba-libs 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.10
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
