Samba 3.x < 3.6.22 / 4.0.x < 4.0.13 / 4.1.x < 4.1.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 71377

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Samba running on the remote host is 3.3.x equal or later than 3.3.10, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x prior to 3.6.22, 4.0.x prior to 4.0.13 or 4.1.x prior to 4.1.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A security bypass vulnerability exists in the 'winbind_name_list_to_sid_string_list()' function of the 'nsswitch/pam_winbind.c' source file. Exploitation could allow a malicious, authenticated user access to the 'pam_winbind' configuration file. (CVE-2012-6150)

- A buffer overflow exists in the 'dcerpc_read_ncacn_packet_done' function of the 'librpc/rpc/dcerpc_util.c' source file that could allow remote AD domain controllers to execute arbitrary code on the remote host via DCE-RPC packet with an invalid fragment length. (CVE-2013-4408)

Note that Nessus has relied only on the self-reported version number and has not actually tried to exploit this issue or determine if the associated patch has been applied.

Solution

Upgrade to version 3.6.22 / 4.0.13 / 4.1.3 or later or refer to the vendor for a patch or workaround.
