Samba 2.2.x < 2.2.10 / 3.0.x < 3.0.5 Buffer Overflow

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9339

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is affected by a buffer overflow attack vector.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Samba is 2.2.x earlier than 2.2.10, or 3.0.x earlier than 3.0.5, and is therefore affected by a flaw related to setting the option 'mangling method' to 'hash' in 'smb.conf' (which is not the default setting), and may allow an attacker to cause a buffer overflow. No further details have been provided.

Solution

Upgrade Samba to version 3.0.5 or later. If version 3.0.x cannot be obtained, version 2.2.10 has also been patched for this issue.
