Apparently there is a hole in Samba...
A hole, in a Windows Based file sharing protocol? You have to be kidding. Well the bugtraq has been banging out emails. I know Redhat sent out the fix although it's probably temporary. News.com states "Several Linux editions--including Debian, Gentoo, and SuSE--released patches for the problem. Apple Computer noted in an advisory that Samba is not enabled by default with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, but the company plans to issue a patch for version 10.2.4. Red Hat hasn't yet released a patch but will do so soon, the company said in a statement... While the problem was spotted by a security team at German Linux software company SuSE last week, the problem apparently was leaked by someone who had access to the Samba source code. Still, Roman Drahtmueller, head of security for SuSE, stressed that finding the problem during a code review gave companies time to respond." Full story is here.
