Amazon Linux 2022 : samba (ALAS2022-2022-213)

high Nessus Plugin ID 168577

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2022 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of samba installed on the remote host is prior to 4.16.5-0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2022-2022-213 advisory.

- Kerberos Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2020-17049)

- A flaw was found in Samba. Some SMB1 write requests were not correctly range-checked to ensure the client had sent enough data to fulfill the write, allowing server memory contents to be written into the file (or printer) instead of client-supplied data. The client cannot control the area of the server memory written to the file (or printer). (CVE-2022-32742)

- A flaw was found in Samba. The KDC accepts kpasswd requests encrypted with any key known to it. By encrypting forged kpasswd requests with its own key, a user can change other users' passwords, enabling full domain takeover. (CVE-2022-32744)

- A flaw was found in Samba. Samba AD users can cause the server to access uninitialized data with an LDAP add or modify the request, usually resulting in a segmentation fault. (CVE-2022-32745)

- A flaw was found in the Samba AD LDAP server. The AD DC database audit logging module can access LDAP message values freed by a preceding database module, resulting in a use-after-free issue. This issue is only possible when modifying certain privileged attributes, such as userAccountControl. (CVE-2022-32746)

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.
