Package : samba
Problem type : symlink attack
Debian-specific: no

Marcus Meissner discovered that samba was not creating temporary
files safely in two places:

• when a remote user queried a printer queue samba would creates
  a temporary file in which the queue data would be written. This was
  doing using a predictable filename and insecurely, allowing a local
  attacker to trick samba into overwriting arbitrary files.
• smbclient “more” and “mput” commands also creates temporary
  files in /tmp insecurely.

Both problems have been fixed in version 2.0.7-3.2. and we
recommand that you upgrade your samba package immediately.

wget url

will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb

will install the referenced file.

Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
