Advisory ID: RHSA-2003:261-01 Issue date: 2003-08-26 Updated on: 2003-08-26 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: Cross references: Obsoletes: CVE Names: CAN-2003-0686 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated pam_smb packages are now available which fix a security vulnerability (buffer overflow). 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386 Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386 Red Hat Linux 9 - i386 3. Problem description: The pam_smb module is a pluggable authentication module (PAM) used to authenticate users using an external Server Message Block (SMB) server. A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found that affects unpatched versions of pam_smb up to and including 1.1.6. On systems that use pam_smb and are configured to authenticate a remotely accessible service, an attacker can exploit this bug and remotely execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0686 to this issue. Red Hat Linux versions 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9 ship with versions of pam_smb that are vulnerable to this issue, however pam_smb is not enabled by default. Users of pam_smb are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a patch to version 1.1.6 to correct this issue. Red Hat would like to thank Dave Airlie of the Samba team for notifying us of this issue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Fvh [filenames] where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the desired RPMs. Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
