Amazon Linux AMI : samba (ALAS-2021-1469)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 144992

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of samba installed on the remote host is prior to 4.10.16-9.56. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2021-1469 advisory.

 A flaw was found in the way samba handled file and directory permissions. An authenticated user could use this flaw to gain access to certain file and directory information which otherwise would be unavailable to the attacker. (CVE-2020-14318)

 A null pointer dereference flaw was found in Samba's winbind service. This flaw allows a local user to crash the winbind service, causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-14323)

 A flaw was found in the Microsoft Windows Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC), where it reuses a known, static, zero-value initialization vector (IV) in AES-CFB8 mode. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to impersonate a domain-joined computer, including a domain controller, and possibly obtain domain administratorprivileges. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-1472)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'yum update samba' to update your system.
