  • 1.  Another security warning regarding SAMBA

    Posted 20 days ago
    We received a new security advisory today for the SAMBA software. It concerns the following:
     
    CVE-2026-15779
    A vulnerability exists in Samba. The vulnerability arises
    from an incorrect permission assignment in "pam_winbind".
     
    If mkhomedir is enabled, pam_winbind changes the owner of the target account's home directory without verifying whether the path is a critical system directory. A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial-of-service attack.

    Samba 4.24.3 (already available in AIX Toolbox) is not affected by this.
