Debian Linux - samba - None

Ubuntu Linux - An authenticated user could possibly crash a KDC process. A kpasswd packet that contains malformed ASN.1 might cause the server to access 6 bytes of unallocated memory. This memory is not exposed to the user, but in some circumstances the server could crash.

The version of samba installed on the remote host is prior to 4.22.11 / 4.24.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2026-209-03 advisory.

    New samba packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the samba 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 remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:3367-1 advisory.

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

  - A miscalculation means an ASN.1 structure used in a Kerberos password change is assumed to be six bytes     bigger than it is. This does not affect ordinary packets (the ASN.1 itself contains the correct size), but     a crafted ANS1 packet could force up to six unallocated bytes to be read. The usual outcome of this will     be a decryption failure and an error message, but it could make the server process crash. (CVE-2026-58216)

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

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6401 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file,     print, and login server for Unix, which might result in denial of     service, domain takeover, information disclosure or privilege     escalation.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 2:4.22.10+dfsg-0+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.
