critical Nessus Plugin ID 290128
Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-2429:04 advisory.* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way samba servers handled certain SMB1 requests. An unauthenticated attacker could send specially-crafted SMB1 requests to cause the server to crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-14746)
* A memory disclosure flaw was found in samba. An attacker could retrieve parts of server memory, which could contain potentially sensitive data, by sending specially-crafted requests to the samba server.
(CVE-2017-15275) Asianux would like to thank the Samba project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Yihan Lian and Zhibin Hu (Qihoo 360 GearTeam) as the original reporter of CVE-2017-14746; and Volker Lendecke (SerNet and the Samba Team) as the original reporter of CVE-2017-15275.
CVE-2017-14746 Use-after-free vulnerability in Samba 4.x before 4.7.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB1 request.
CVE-2017-15275 Samba before 4.7.3 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging failure of the server to clear allocated heap memory.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
