[DSA203] DSA-203-1 smb2www

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
DSA-203-1 smb2www

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Robert Luberda found a security problem in smb2www, a Windows Network
client that is accessible through a web browser. This could lead a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary programs under the user id
www-data on the host where smb2www is running.
This problem has been fixed in version 980804-16.1 for the current
stable distribution (woody), in version 980804-8.1 of the old stable
distribution (potato) and in version 980804-17 for the unstable
distribution (sid).
We recommend that you upgrade your smb2www package immediately.
