Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2012:0313
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2012:0313. Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allows PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and other information. The default Samba server configuration enabled both the wide links and unix extensions options, allowing Samba clients with write access to a share to create symbolic links that point to any location on the file system. Clients connecting with CIFS UNIX extensions disabled could have such links resolved on the server, allowing them to access and possibly overwrite files outside of the share. With this update, wide links is set to no by default. In addition, the update ensures wide links is disabled for shares that have unix extensions enabled. (CVE-2010-0926) Warning: This update may cause files and directories that are only linked to Samba shares using symbolic links to become inaccessible to Samba clients. In deployments where support for CIFS UNIX extensions is not needed (such as when files are exported to Microsoft Windows clients), administrators may prefer to set the unix extensions option to no to allow the use of symbolic links to access files out of the shared directories. All existing symbolic links in a share should be reviewed before re-enabling wide links. These updated samba packages also fix the following bug: * The smbclient tool sometimes failed to return the proper exit status code. Consequently, using smbclient in a script caused some scripts to fail. With this update, an upstream patch has been applied and smbclient now returns the correct exit status. (BZ#768908) In addition, these updated samba packages provide the following enhancement: * With this update, support for Windows Server 2008 R2 domains has been added. (BZ#736124) Users are advised to upgrade to these updated samba packages, which correct these issues and add this enhancement. After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted automatically. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-0313.html Risk factor : Low
