ClearFoundation has issued a patch to Samba for ClearOS. Samba provides much of the file service and Windows networking components for ClearOS. Earlier today the Samba team issued a statement indicating that all versions of Samba should have a key configuration parameter updated. The security risk is not high because the file access requires both a secure connection (LAN or VPN, not the Internet) and valid username/password into Samba section of the ClearOS system. Data on the system is still protected with standard system file permissions.
This patch will take effect on all ClearOS servers which are receiving software updates at their next update cycle.

Haiti's capital city is said to be "flattened," and officials say the number of dead may top 100,000.
