Can Tridge or anyone else confirm whether or not this bug was present in
Samba versions earlier than 2.0.7 ?
Along with 2.0.7, we still run 2.0.5a, which is the latest "security fix"
version available as a binary for some of our Unixen, and we have an
exceptionally old-fashioned Un*x still running 1.9.17p4.
I know I should probably just give up on precompiled binaries, and compile
from source on all our boxen.
(I'm making the same enquiry in respect of Samba-for-VMS on the relevant
users' mailing list.)
Thanks,

Subject: Samba 2.0.8 security fix
I've just released Samba 2.0.8. This release fixes a significant
security vulnerability that allows local users to corrupt local
devices (such as raw disks).
