Subject: [SECURITY] New version of libpam-smb released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone
September 11, 2000
Package: libpam-smb
Vulnerability: remote root exploit
Debian-specific: no
libpam-smb contains a buffer overflow that can be used to execute
arbitrary commands with root privilege. libpam-smb was not shipped
with Debian 2.1 (slink), but was included in Debian 2.2 (potato).
A fixed version of libpam-smb is available in version 1.1.6-1
for Debian 2.2 (potato). We recommend upgrading your libpam-smb
immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink
Debian 2.1 did not include libpam-smb.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
Potato was released for the alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and
sparc architectures. At this moment packages for m68k are not yet
available. As soon as they are ready we will put them online and
list them on the security pages at
