DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Samba, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
request forgery attacks.

1) The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) allows users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity
checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. shutdown
or start Samba daemons and add or remove shares, printers, or user
accounts by tricking a logged-in user into visiting a malicious web
site.

2) Input passed to the "user" field of the "Change password" page of
SWAT is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires that SWAT is
enabled (not default).

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 3.0.x through 3.5.9.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.5.10.
