Samba 4.x < 4.0.4 AD DC File Permissions

medium Nessus Plugin ID 65631

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Samba server is affected by a permissions vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the version of Samba running on the remote host is 4.x prior to 4.0.4 and is, therefore, potentially affected by a file permissions vulnerability.

Files on Active Directory Domain Controllers(AD DC) may be created with world-writeable permissions when additional CIFS file shares are created on the AD DC.

Note that this issue does not affect the AD DC by default and thus, does not affect files in the 'sysvol' and 'netlogon' shares. Further, installs configured as standalone server, domain member, file server, classic domain controller and installs built with '--without-ad-dc' are not affected. However, it does affect files on shares with simple Unix permissions.

Further note that Nessus has relied only on the self-reported version number and has not actually tried to exploit this issue, or determine if the associated patch has been applied.

Solution

Either install the patch referenced in the project's advisory, or upgrade to 4.0.4 or later.
