Echo: samba: security update to 2:4.17.10+dfsg-0+deb12u1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460362

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A Type Confusion vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing
 Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets, one encoded data structure is a key-value style dictionary where the keys
 are character strings, and the values can be any of the supported types in the mdssvc protocol. Due to a
 lack of type checking in callers of the dalloc_value_for_key() function, which returns the object
 associated with a key, a caller may trigger a crash in talloc_get_size() when talloc detects that the
 passed-in pointer is not a valid talloc pointer. With an RPC worker process shared among multiple client
 connections, a malicious client or attacker can trigger a process crash in a shared RPC mdssvc worker
 process, affecting all other clients this worker serves. (CVE-2023-34967)

Solution

Update the samba library and its related packages to version 2:4.17.10+dfsg-0+deb12u1 or later.
