NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : samba Vulnerability (NS-SA-2021-0114)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 154613

Language:

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has samba packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

 - A flaw was found in samba. The Samba smbd file server must map Windows group identities (SIDs) into unix group ids (gids). The code that performs this had a flaw that could allow it to read data beyond the end of the array in the case where a negative cache entry had been added to the mapping cache. This could cause the calling code to return those values into the process token that stores the group membership for a user. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.
 (CVE-2021-20254)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL samba packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
