EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : samba (EulerOS-SA-2021-2282)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 152333

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the samba packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - A flaw was found in samba. The Samba smbd file server must map Windows group identities (SIDs) into unix group ids (gids). The code that performs this had a flaw that could allow it to read data beyond the end of the array in the case where a negative cache entry had been added to the mapping cache. This could cause the calling code to return those values into the process token that stores the group membership for a user. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.(CVE-2021-20254)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected samba package.
