Slackware Linux 15.0 / current samba Multiple Vulnerabilities (SSA:2022-351-01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 168899

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to samba.

Description

The version of samba installed on the remote host is prior to 4.15.13 / 4.17.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2022-351-01 advisory.

 - Since the Windows Kerberos RC4-HMAC Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability was disclosed by Microsoft on Nov 8 2022 and per RFC8429 it is assumed that rc4-hmac is weak, Vulnerable Samba Active Directory DCs will issue rc4-hmac encrypted tickets despite the target server supporting better encryption (eg aes256-cts- hmac-sha1-96). (CVE-2022-45141)

 - Windows Kerberos RC4-HMAC Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (CVE-2022-37966)

 - Windows Kerberos Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (CVE-2022-37967)

 - Netlogon RPC Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (CVE-2022-38023)

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected samba package.
