samba vulnerability
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its
derivatives:
* Ubuntu 14.04 ESM
Summary
Samba would allow unintended access to files over the network.
Software Description
* samba - SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
Details
USN-4510-1 fixed a vulnerability in Samba. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Tom Tervoort discovered that the Netlogon protocol implemented by
Samba incorrectly handled the authentication scheme. A remote
attacker could use this issue to forge an authentication token and
steal the credentials of the domain admin.
This update fixes the issue by changing the "server schannel"
setting to default to "yes", instead of "auto", which will force a
secure netlogon channel. This may result in compatibility issues
with older devices. A future update may allow a finer-grained
control over this setting.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 ESM
samba - 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.20+esm9
To update your system, please follow these instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
