FreeBSD : samba -- integer overflow vulnerability (3b3676be-52e1-11d9-a9e7-0001020eed82)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 18904

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Greg MacManus, iDEFENSE Labs reports :

Remote exploitation of an integer overflow vulnerability in the smbd daemon included in Samba 2.0.x, Samba 2.2.x, and Samba 3.0.x prior to and including 3.0.9 could allow an attacker to cause controllable heap corruption, leading to execution of arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Successful remote exploitation allows an attacker to gain root privileges on a vulnerable system. In order to exploit this vulnerability an attacker must possess credentials that allow access to a share on the Samba server. Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will cause the process serving the request to crash with signal 11, and may leave evidence of an attack in logs.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
