A flaw was found in Samba. The smbd service daemon does not pick up group membership changes when re-authenticating an expired SMB session. This issue can expose file shares until clients disconnect and then connect again.

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 Samba. The smbd service daemon does not pick up group membership changes when re-     authenticating an expired SMB session. This issue can expose file shares until clients disconnect and then     connect again. (CVE-2025-0620)

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

The remote Ubuntu 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7564-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain group membership changes when using Kerberos     authentication. A remote user could possibly use this issue to continue to access resources after being     removed by an administrator.

    Update to Samba 4.22.2 - Security fix for CVE-2025-0620

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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

The version of Samba installed on the remote host is 4.21.x prior to 4.21.6, or 4.22.x prior to 4.22.2. It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability. A flaw exists with smbd when using Kerberos authentication with smb, due to using the cached user group permissions when re-authenticating. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to continue accessing a user group after being removed.

The remote Fedora 43 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2025-a0d44a3ecf advisory.

    Automatic update for samba-4.22.2-1.fc43.
