RHBA-2014:1241 - samba bug fix update

Synopsis

samba bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated samba packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) or Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allows PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and other information.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Dropbox is a directory with permission 0733. Previously, when the user was trying to store a file in a dropbox directory, the file could not be created. As a consequence, an ACCESS_DENIED error was returned. The permissions to such a directory are now correctly processed by the smbd daemon, and the user can save files to a dropbox directory again. (BZ#1132425)

Users of samba are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug. After installing this update, the smb service will be restarted automatically.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
