Alpine: libsmbclient, pam-winbind, multiple samba packages: security update to 4.11.1-r0 (deprecated)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 400481

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- A flaw was found in the samba client, all samba versions before samba 4.11.2, 4.10.10 and 4.9.15, where a
malicious server can supply a pathname to the client with separators. This could allow the client to
access files and folders outside of the SMB network pathnames. An attacker could use this vulnerability to
create files outside of the current working directory using the privileges of the client user.
(CVE-2019-10218)

- A flaw was found in Samba, all versions starting samba 4.5.0 before samba 4.9.15, samba 4.10.10, samba
4.11.2, in the way it handles a user password change or a new password for a samba user. The Samba Active
Directory Domain Controller can be configured to use a custom script to check for password complexity.
This configuration can fail to verify password complexity when non-ASCII characters are used in the
password, which could lead to weak passwords being set for samba users, making it vulnerable to dictionary
attacks. (CVE-2019-14833)
