Description:
Sun has issued a patch for Solaris 9. This fixes an older vulnerability in samba, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable server.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the length checking code for password change requests from clients. A malicious user can exploit this by sending a request containing a specially crafted, encrypted password to a vulnerable system, which causes a buffer overflow, when the encrypted password is decrypted.
Successful exploitation can cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially allow execution of arbitrary code on the system.
