(RHSA-2003:096) samba security update

Samba is a suite of utilities which provides file and printer sharing
services to SMB/CIFS clients.

Sebastian Krahmer discovered a security vulnerability present
in unpatched versions of Samba prior to 2.2.8. An anonymous user could use
the vulnerability to gain root access on the target machine.

Additionally, a race condition could allow an attacker to overwrite
critical system files.

All users of Samba are advised to update to the erratum packages which
contain patches to correct these vulnerabilities.

These packages contain the security fixes backported to the Samba 2.2.7
codebase.
