Debian DSA-5003-1 : samba - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 155015

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5003 advisory.

- Multiple flaws were found in the way samba AD DC implemented access and conformance checking of stored data. An attacker could use this flaw to cause total domain compromise. (CVE-2020-25722)

- A flaw was found in the way samba implemented SMB1 authentication. An attacker could use this flaw to retrieve the plaintext password sent over the wire even if Kerberos authentication was required.
(CVE-2016-2124)

- A flaw was found in the way Samba maps domain users to local users. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause possible privilege escalation. (CVE-2020-25717)

- A flaw was found in the way samba, as an Active Directory Domain Controller, is able to support an RODC (read-only domain controller). This would allow an RODC to print administrator tickets. (CVE-2020-25718)

- A flaw was found in the way Samba, as an Active Directory Domain Controller, implemented Kerberos name- based authentication. The Samba AD DC, could become confused about the user a ticket represents if it did not strictly require a Kerberos PAC and always use the SIDs found within. The result could include total domain compromise. (CVE-2020-25719)

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 samba packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 2
