A flaw was found in the way samba client before samba 4.4.16, samba 4.5.14 and samba 4.6.8 used encryption with the max protocol set as SMB3. The connection could lose the requirement for signing and encrypting to any DFS redirects, allowing an attacker to read or alter the contents of the connection via a man-in-the-middle attack.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A flaw was found in the way samba client before samba 4.4.16, samba 4.5.14 and samba 4.6.8 used encryption     with the max protocol set as SMB3. The connection could lose the requirement for signing and encrypting to     any DFS redirects, allowing an attacker to read or alter the contents of the connection via a man-in-the-     middle attack. (CVE-2017-12151)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has samba packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the NDR parsing in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allow     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted MS-RPC requests involving (1) DFSEnum     (netdfs_io_dfs_EnumInfo_d), (2) RFNPCNEX (smb_io_notify_option_type_data), (3) LsarAddPrivilegesToAccount     (lsa_io_privilege_set), (4) NetSetFileSecurity (sec_io_acl), or (5) LsarLookupSids/LsarLookupSids2     (lsa_io_trans_names). (CVE-2007-2446)

  - The MS-RPC functionality in smbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.25rc3 allows remote attackers to execute     arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters involving the (1) SamrChangePassword function, when the     username map script smb.conf option is enabled, and allows remote authenticated users to execute     commands via shell metacharacters involving other MS-RPC functions in the (2) remote printer and (3) file     share management. (CVE-2007-2447)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the receive_smb_raw function in util/sock.c in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.29     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB response. (CVE-2008-1105)

  - Samba 3.4 before 3.4.2, 3.3 before 3.3.8, 3.2 before 3.2.15, and 3.0.12 through 3.0.36, as used in the SMB     subsystem in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.8 when Windows File Sharing is enabled, Fedora 11, and other operating     systems, does not properly handle errors in resolving pathnames, which allows remote authenticated users     to bypass intended sharing restrictions, and read, create, or modify files, in certain circumstances     involving user accounts that lack home directories. (CVE-2009-2813)

  - smbd in Samba 3.0 before 3.0.37, 3.2 before 3.2.15, 3.3 before 3.3.8, and 3.4 before 3.4.2 allows remote     authenticated users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an unanticipated oplock break     notification reply packet. (CVE-2009-2906)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the samba packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in Samba RPC     external printer service. An attacker could use this     flaw to cause the printer spooler service to     crash.(CVE-2018-1050)

  - A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way samba     clients processed extra long filename in a directory     listing. A malicious samba server could use this flaw     to cause arbitrary code execution on a samba client.
    (CVE-2018-10858)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the way samba     servers handled certain SMB1 requests. An     unauthenticated attacker could send specially-crafted     SMB1 requests to cause the server to crash or execute     arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-14746)

  - A memory disclosure flaw was found in samba. An     attacker could retrieve parts of server memory, which     could contain potentially sensitive data, by sending     specially-crafted requests to the samba     server.(CVE-2017-15275)

  - It was found that samba did not enforce 'SMB signing'     when certain configuration options were enabled. A     remote attacker could launch a man-in-the-middle attack     and retrieve information in plain-text.(CVE-2017-12150)

  - A flaw was found in the way samba client used     encryption with the max protocol set as SMB3. The     connection could lose the requirement for signing and     encrypting to any DFS redirects, allowing an attacker     to read or alter the contents of the connection via a     man-in-the-middle attack.(CVE-2017-12151)

  - An information leak flaw was found in the way SMB1     protocol was implemented by Samba. A malicious client     could use this flaw to dump server memory contents to a     file on the samba share or to a shared printer, though     the exact area of server memory cannot be controlled by     the attacker.(CVE-2017-12163)

Server memory information leak over SMB1 :

An information leak flaw was found in the way SMB1 protocol was implemented by Samba. A malicious client could use this flaw to dump server memory contents to a file on the samba share or to a shared printer, though the exact area of server memory cannot be controlled by the attacker.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:2858 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):

    * It was found that samba did not enforce SMB signing when certain configuration options were enabled. A     remote attacker could launch a man-in-the-middle attack and retrieve information in plain-text.
    (CVE-2017-12150)

    * A flaw was found in the way samba client used encryption with the max protocol set as SMB3. The     connection could lose the requirement for signing and encrypting to any DFS redirects, allowing an     attacker to read or alter the contents of the connection via a man-in-the-middle attack.

    Red Hat would like to thank the Samba project for reporting CVE-2017-12150 and CVE-2017-12151 and Yihan     Lian and Zhibin Hu (Qihoo 360 GearTeam), Stefan Metzmacher (SerNet), and Jeremy Allison (Google) for     reporting CVE-2017-12163.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.4.x prior to 4.4.16, 4.5.x prior to 4.5.14, or 4.6.x prior to 4.6.8. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Signing requirements are not properly enforced for SMB v1, v2,     and v3. This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to     interfere with client connections. (CVE-2017-12150)

  - A flaw exists with the DFS redirect that causes encryption     requirements to not be maintained. A man-in-the-middle attacker     could read or alter the client connection. (CVE-2017-12151)

  - A flaw exists with SMB v1 due to improper range check for client     write requests. An authenticated attacker could potentially access     sensitive server information. (CVE-2017-12163)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple security issues have been discoverd in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix :

  - CVE-2017-12150     Stefan Metzmacher discovered multiple code paths where     SMB signing was not enforced.

  - CVE-2017-12151     Stefan Metzmacher discovered that tools using     libsmbclient did not enforce encryption when following     DFS redirects, which could allow a man-in-the-middle     attacker to read or modify connections which were meant     to be encrypted.

  - CVE-2017-12163     Yihan Lian and Zhibin Hu discovered that insufficient     range checks in the processing of SMB1 write requests     could result in disclosure of server memory.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3426-1 advisory.

    Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba incorrectly enforced SMB signing in certain situations. A remote     attacker could use this issue to perform a machine-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2017-12150)
