Echo: samba: security update to 2:4.11.1+dfsg-2

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 461305

Description

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

 - 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)

Solution

Update the samba library and its related packages to version 2:4.11.1+dfsg-2 or later.
