medium Nessus Plugin ID 173912

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Samba running on the remote host is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

- The fix in 4.6.16, 4.7.9, 4.8.4 and 4.9.7 for CVE-2018-10919 Confidential attribute disclosure via LDAP filters was insufficient and an attacker may be able to obtain confidential BitLocker recovery keys from a Samba AD DC. (CVE-2023-0614)

- The Samba AD DC administration tool, when operating against a remote LDAP server, will by default send new or reset passwords over a signed-only connection. (CVE-2023-0922)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Samba version 4.16.10, 4.17.7, or 4.18.1.
