EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.0 : samba (EulerOS-SA-2024-1021)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 188558

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the samba packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A vulnerability was discovered in Samba, where the flaw allows SMB clients to truncate files, even with read-only permissions when the Samba VFS module 'acl_xattr' is configured with 'acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes'. The SMB protocol allows opening files when the client requests read-only access but then implicitly truncates the opened file to 0 bytes if the client specifies a separate OVERWRITE create disposition request. The issue arises in configurations that bypass kernel file system permissions checks, relying solely on Samba's permissions. (CVE-2023-4091)

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 packages.
