Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for samba fixes the following issues :

CVE-2021-20277: Fixed an out of bounds read in ldb_handler_fold (bsc#1183574).

CVE-2021-20254: Fixed a buffer overrun in sids_to_unixids() (bsc#1184677).

CVE-2020-27840: Fixed an unauthenticated remote heap corruption via bad DNs (bsc#1183572).

s3-libads: use dns name to open a ldap session (bsc#1184310).

Adjust smbcacls '--propagate-inheritance' feature to align with upstream (bsc#1178469).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
