Slackware: samba (SSA:2008-149-01)
2008-05-29 10:31:35 Source: Email [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
New samba packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, and -current to fix a security issue:
"Specifically crafted SMB responses can result in a heap overflow in the Samba client code. Because the server process, smbd, can itself act as a client during operations such as printer notification and domain authentication, this issue affects both Samba client and server installations."
This flaw affects Samba versions from 3.0.0 through 3.0.29.

New xine-lib packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, and -current to fix security issues.
An overflow was found in the Speex decoder that could lead to a crash or
possible execution of arbitrary code. Xine-lib <= 1.1.12 was also found to be vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow in the NES demuxer (thanks to milw0rm.com).

Slackware: cups (SSA:2008-094-01)
2008-04-03 14:23:33 Source: Email [ Print | 0 Comment(s) ]
New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, and -current to fix security issues. The change from CUPS 1.2.x to CUPS 1.3.x was tested here, but if you're on a completely secured internal network these issues may be less of a risk than upgrading. If your IPP port is open to the internet, you'd be advised to upgrade as soon as possible (or firewall the port at the gateway if you're not in need of printer jobs coming in from the internet).
