Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-314-1 (samba)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to samba announced via advisory USN-314-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The Samba security team reported a Denial of Service vulnerability in the handling of information about active connections. In certain circumstances an attacker could continually increase the memory usage of the smbd process by issuing a large number of share connection requests. By draining all available memory, this could be exploited to render the remote Samba server unusable. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 5.04: samba 3.0.10-1ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu 5.10: samba 3.0.14a-6ubuntu1.1 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: samba 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-314-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
