Mandrakesoft has just released two new "enterprise" Linux products: Corporate Server and Corporate Desktop. These products have received specific development and testing efforts to make them as fit as possible for use in a business environment.
The new Corporate Server is meant to facilitate deployment through its auto-installation and easy configuration capabilities. It can be used for any kind of server tasks, from LDAP to Web.
Corporate Desktop was designed for the coming wave of Linux on the desktop. The problem of over-abounding, sometimes immature Open Source software has been solved in this product through careful testing and screening of software applications. That makes Corporate Desktop immediately usable.

Date: December 27th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in the smbd daemon included in Samba 2.0.x, Samba 2.2.x, and Samba 3.0.x prior to and including 3.0.9 could allow an attacker to cause controllable heap corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges.
In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker must possess credentials that allow access to a share on the Samba server. Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will cause the process serving the request to crash with signal 11, and may leave evidence of an attack in logs.
The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Updated php packages are available for Mandrakelinux
_______________________________________________________________________
Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: php
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:151
Date: December 17th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A number of vulnerabilities in PHP versions prior to 4.3.10 were discovered by Stefan Esser. Some of these vulnerabilities were not deemed to be severe enough to warrant CVE names, however the packages provided, with the exception of the Corporate Server 2.1 packages, include fixes for all of the vulnerabilities, thanks to the efforts of the OpenPKG team who extracted and backported the fixes.
The vulnerabilities fixed in all provided packages include a fix for a possible information disclosure, double free, and negative reference index array underflow in deserialization code (CAN-2004-1019). As well, the exif_read_data() function suffers from an overflow on a long sectionname; this vulnerability was discovered by Ilia Alshanetsky (CAN-2004-1065).
The other fixes that appear in Mandrakelinux 9.2 and newer packages include a fix for out of bounds memory write access in shmop_write() and integer overflow/underflows in the pack() and unpack() functions. The addslashes() function did not properly escape "\0" correctly. A directory bypass issue existed in safe_mode execution. There is an issue of arbitrary file access through path truncation. Finally, the "magic_quotes_gpc" functionality could lead to one level directory traversal with file uploads.
