Synopsis

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has samba packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- A flaw was found in the way samba implemented an RPC endpoint emulating the Windows registry service API. An unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to create a new registry hive file anywhere they have unix permissions which could lead to creation of a new file in the Samba share. Versions before 4.8.11, 4.9.6 and 4.10.2 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3880)
