    winbind pam-config: fix account section
    
    This fixes a bug[1], where the PAM "account" part will never be executed
    because the pam_unix usually return success due the presence of the
    nss-winbind library.
    
    The bug reporter points to sssd, how the problem is solved there, by
    making the account section of type "Additional". This way pam_winbind is
    always executed and i.e. enforces users with expired passwords to change
    it before logging in.

    debian/panic-action: steer users towards configuration and logs
    
    In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089853, a
    misconfiuration was mistaken for a segmentation fault, even after the
    reporter found the panic could be avoided by fixing the configuration.
    
    This is likely because the message mentions "segfault" and produces
    only a stacktrace as diagnostic evidence, which is enough to fool
    anyone.
    
    The smb_panic() call itself knows more, because it is given a message
    (in this case "open_sockets_smbd() failed", which may not help), and
    this is logged, as usually are a number of preceding related messages.
    
    We could with some effort allow the panic action to take a message in
    $2, but this will be a bit fiddly as we would need to move away from
    using system() to avoid shell escaping trouble.

1 low-priority security issue in bookworm low

There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2018-14628: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) An information leak vulnerability was discovered in Samba's LDAP server. Due to missing access control checks, an authenticated but unprivileged attacker could discover the names and preserved attributes of deleted objects in the LDAP store.

You can find information about how to handle this issue in the security team's documentation.

testing migrations
  • This package will soon be part of the auto-gpgme1.0 transition. You might want to ensure that your package is ready for it. You can probably find supplementary information in the debian-release archives or in the corresponding release.debian.org bug.
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for samba (2:4.22.2+dfsg-1 to 2:4.22.3+dfsg-2): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 2 of 5 days old
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Updating samba will fix bugs in testing: #1108904
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/s/samba.html
