Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS : Samba vulnerabilities (USN-3738-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 111748

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3738-1 advisory.

 Svyatoslav Phirsov discovered that the Samba libsmbclient library incorrectly handled extra long filenames. A malicious server could use this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-10858)

 Volker Mauel discovered that Samba incorrectly handled database output. When used as an Active Directory Domain Controller, a remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-10918)

 Phillip Kuhrt discovered that the Samba LDAP server incorrectly handled certain confidential attribute values. A remote authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain certain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-10919)

 Vivek Das discovered that Samba incorrectly handled NTLMv1 being explicitly disabled on the server. A remote user could possibly be authenticated using NTLMv1, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-1139)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution
