[Bug 978458] Re: CVE-2012-1182: "root" credential remote code execution

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Hi Tyler,

+1 on the diff, that looks good.

Note that an alternative to shipping the second patch is to update the
generated files from the package itself, so the diff isn't massive; this
would require adding "make -C source3 samba3-idl" as part of the build
step and adding libparse-yapp-perl to the build dependencies.

I should be able to sponsor, though it's well past my EOD, so it might
be better if somebody else could.

Bug description:
  CVE-2012-1182 was recently made public for a remote, unauthenticated,
  root code execution flaw in most samba versions 3.0+:

  https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2012-1182

  I believe Ubuntu's packages to be vulnerable.  As the CVE is already
  public and patches are in the wild, I am flagging this as a security
  vulnerability but will un-privatize it shortly.
