If you use Samba, see https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2017-7494.html

Testing branch samba-4.5.10 has been patched to address this vulnerability but as of this writing has not been stabilized.

Workaround: Add

Code:

nt pipe support = no

to the [global] section of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file and restart the samba service.

This message will be replaced with the GLSA when it's ready. Gentoo Bugzilla tracker is here.

samba-4.5.10 has been stabilized on all arches except arm. With that exception, all samba users should upgrade now:

Code:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-fs/samba-4.5.10
