Prepare for a lot of data theft. Unfortunately I can see a lot of places not addressing this quickly, if at all, at least not until it's too late. -

Interesting that the version numbers it says you should upgrade to in the article to fix the vulnerability don't match the version numbers you get for RHEL. I checked my CentOS 6.2 box and it updated Samba to 3.5.10-115.el6_2. According to Red Hat, that is the patched version they've released.

RHEL does things differently. The version number you see is the base level of the package for that release of Red Hat, and they don't update the base version number, they just update the -115.el6_2 part as they backport and build new packages with the security/bug fixes. Debian does the same thing. -

I'm sure I'd be surprised, but who runs SMB/CIFS over the WAN???Work in progress: picking up Postgres, elastisearch, redis, Cloudera, & AWS.
Next up: eventually the RHCE and to start blogging again.
