Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: samba (CVE-2022-32746)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 295685

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of samba installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-32746 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in the Samba AD LDAP server. The AD DC database audit logging module can access LDAP message values freed by a preceding database module, resulting in a use-after-free issue. This issue is only possible when modifying certain privileged attributes, such as userAccountControl. (CVE-2022-32746)

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

Solution
