Synopsis
The remote Samba server is potentially affected by a vulnerability.Description
The version of Samba running on the remote host is potentially affected by a vulnerability. The SMB protocol allows opening files where the client requests read-only access, but then implicitly truncating the opened file if the client specifies a separate OVERWRITE create disposition. This operation requires write access to the file, and in the default Samba configuration the operating system kernel will deny access to open a read-only file for read/write (which the truncate operation requires). However, when Samba has been configured to ignore kernel file system permissions, Samba will truncate a file when the underlying operating system kernel would deny the operation.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 4.17.12, 4.18.8, or 4.19.1.See Also
