CentOS Update for samba4 CESA-2014:0383 centos6. It was found that certain Samba configurations did not enforce the password lockout mechanism, allowing password guessing attacks on Samba user accounts. Also, a flaw in Samba's 'smbcacls' command would incorrectly remove an ACL previously applied on a file or directory, leaving it without the intended ACL. Additionally, the way the pam_winbind module handled configurations could allow an authenticated user to gain access to a service using pam_winbind

Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allows

It was found that certain Samba configurations did not enforce the password
lockout mechanism. A remote attacker could use this flaw to perform
password guessing attacks on Samba user accounts. Note: this flaw only
affected Samba when deployed as a Primary Domain Controller.
(CVE-2013-4496)

A flaw was found in Samba's 'smbcacls' command, which is used to set or get
ACLs on SMB file shares. Certain command line options of this command would
incorrectly remove an ACL previously applied on a file or a directory,
leaving the file or directory without the intended ACL. (CVE-2013-6442)

A flaw was found in the way the pam_winbind module handled configurations
that specified a non-existent group as required. An authenticated user
could possibly use this flaw to gain access to a service using pam_winbind
in its PAM configuration when group restriction was intended for access to
the service. (CVE-2012-6150)

Red Hat would like to thank the Samba project for reporting CVE-2013-4496
and CVE-2013-6442, and Sam Richardson for reporting CVE-2012-6150.
Upstream acknowledges Andrew Bartlett as the original reporter of
CVE-2013-4496, and Noel Power as the original reporter of CVE-2013-6442.

contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing this
