Samba 3.2.x < 3.2.3 Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122057

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Samba running on the remote host is prior to 3.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain privileged or administrator access to the system.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Samba version 3.2.3 or later.
