    CVE-2013-4496

    Summary: Updated samba packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: In Samba before 3.6.23, the SAMR server neglects to ensure that attempted password changes will update the bad password count, and does not set the lockout flags. This would allow a user unlimited attempts against the password by simply calling ChangePasswordUser2 repeatedly. This is available without any other authentication (CVE-2013-4496)
