Alpine: multiple ldb packages, multiple samba packages, pam-winbind: security update to 4.16.6-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424464

Description

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

- A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Samba within the GSSAPI unwrap_des() and
unwrap_des3() routines of Heimdal. The DES and Triple-DES decryption routines in the Heimdal GSSAPI
library allow a length-limited write buffer overflow on malloc() allocated memory when presented with a
maliciously small packet. This flaw allows a remote user to send specially crafted malicious data to the
application, possibly resulting in a denial of service (DoS) attack. (CVE-2022-3437)

- A symlink following vulnerability was found in Samba, where a user can create a symbolic link that will
make 'smbd' escape the configured share path. This flaw allows a remote user with access to the exported
part of the file system under a share via SMB1 unix extensions or NFS to create symlinks to files outside
the 'smbd' configured share path and gain access to another restricted server's filesystem.
(CVE-2022-3592)
