Hi James,

The latest package for xenial appears to be 4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.13, which means it uses the original upstream 4.3.11 sources *plus* patches from Ubuntu. This is standard practice for Ubuntu release, where you don't get upgraded to new versions of your packages, but you do get security fixes applied to them.

You can download the Ubuntu packaging source here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/samba_4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.13.debian.tar.xz

In that, under the /debian/patches/ directory, you will see the patches that fix CVE-2018-1057.

Sorry Nish, I didn’t realise it was already patched. The newest ubuntu package was reporting Samba version 4.3.11 whereas Samba.org had 4.8.0 released. I wasn’t aware these were two separate tracks. My bad.

Cheers,
James

 Hi there,



 Are there any plans to upgrade the current Samba package to mitigate
 again the recent security bug in CVE-2018-1057 ?
