Synopsis

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0423 advisory.

 Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and the related Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which allow PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and various information.

 Security Fix(es):

 * samba: out-of-bounds read in winbind AUTH_CRAP (CVE-2022-2127)

 * samba: infinite loop in mdssvc RPC service for spotlight (CVE-2023-34966)
