========================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10
- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Samba.

Software Description:
- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix

Details:

It was discovered that Winbind incorrectly handled invalid group names wi=
th
the require_membership_of parameter. If an administrator used an invalid
group name by mistake, access was granted instead of having the login fai=
l.
(CVE-2012-6150)

Stefan Metzmacher and Michael Adam discovered that Samba incorrectly
handled DCE-RPC fragment length fields. A remote attacker could use this
issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user. (CVE-2013-4408)

Hemanth Thummala discovered that Samba incorrectly handled file
permissions when vfs_streams_depot or vfs_streams_xattr were enabled. A
remote attacker could use this issue to bypass intended restrictions.
(CVE-2013-4475)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
libpam-winbind 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3.1
samba 2:3.6.18-1ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 13.04:
libpam-winbind 2:3.6.9-1ubuntu1.2
samba 2:3.6.9-1ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 12.10:
libpam-winbind 2:3.6.6-3ubuntu5.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libpam-winbind 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.9
samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.9

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
