A flaw was found when using samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller. Due to the way samba handles certain requests as an Active Directory Domain Controller LDAP server, an unauthorized user can cause a stack overflow leading to a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This issue affects all samba versions before 4.10.15, before 4.11.8 and before 4.12.2.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix.

CVE-2020-1472

Unauthenticated domain controller compromise by subverting Netlogon cryptography. This vulnerability includes both ZeroLogon and non-ZeroLogon variations.

CVE-2020-10704

An unauthorized user can trigger a denial of service via a stack overflow in the AD DC LDAP server.

CVE-2020-10730

NULL pointer de-reference and use-after-free in Samba AD DC LDAP Server with ASQ, VLV and paged_results.

CVE-2020-10745

Denial of service resulting from abuse of compression of replies to NetBIOS over TCP/IP name resolution and DNS packets causing excessive CPU load on the Samba AD DC.

CVE-2020-10760

The use of the paged_results or VLV controls against the Global Catalog LDAP server on the AD DC will cause a use-after-free.

CVE-2020-14303

Denial of service resulting from CPU spin and and inability to process further requests once the AD DC NBT server receives an empty (zero-length) UDP packet to port 137.

CVE-2020-14318

Missing handle permissions check in ChangeNotify

CVE-2020-14323

Unprivileged user can crash winbind via invalid lookupsids DoS

CVE-2020-14383

DNS server crash via invalid records resulting from uninitialized variables

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2:4.5.16+dfsg-1+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.

This update for samba fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

  - CVE-2020-10704: Fixed a stack overflow in the AD DC     (C)LDAP server (bsc#1169851).

Non-security issues fixed :

  - Fixed spnego fallback from kerberos to ntlmssp in smbd     server (bsc#1169473).

The version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.10.x prior to 4.10.15, 4.11.x prior to 4.11.8, or 4.12.x prior to 4.12.2.  It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists related to handling 'ASQ' and 'Paged     Results' LDAP controls that could allow use-after-free     conditions having unspecified impact. (CVE-2020-10700)

  - A flaw exists related to handling deeply nested     filters, un-authenticated LDAP searches, and stack     memory that could allow  application crashes.
    (CVE-2020-10704)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these  issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Samba Team reports :

CVE-2020-10700

A client combining the 'ASQ' and 'Paged Results' LDAP controls can cause a use-after-free in Samba's AD DC LDAP server.

CVE-2020-10704

A deeply nested filter in an un-authenticated LDAP search can exhaust the LDAP server's stack memory causing a SIGSEGV.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4341-1 advisory.

    Andrei Popa discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain LDAP queries. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 19.10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-10700)
