Samba 4.x < 4.9.17 / 4.10.x < 4.10.11 / 4.11.x < 4.11.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.9.17, 4.10.x prior to 4.10.11, or 4.11.x prior to 4.11.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the ldb_qsort() and dns_name_compare() routines due to how the routines handle case sensitivity of DNS records. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by registering a DNS record matching the name of the DNS zone, to cause the process to stop responding. (CVE-2019-14861)

 - An issue exists where the S4U (MS-SFU) Kerberos delegation model includes a feature allowing for a subset of clients to be opted out of constrained delegation in any way, either S4U2Self or regular Kerberos authentication, by forcing all tickets for these clients to be non-forwardable. In AD this is implemented by a user attribute delegation_not_allowed (aka not-delegated), which translates to disallow-forwardable.
 However the Samba AD DC does not do that for S4U2Self and does set the forwardable flag even if the impersonated client has the not-delegated flag set. (CVE-2019-14870)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Samba version 4.9.17 / 4.10.11 / 4.11.3 or later.
