Samba 4.4.x < 4.4.12 / 4.5.x < 4.5.7 / 4.6.x < 4.6.1 Local File Disclosure

low Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700022

Synopsis

The remote host is running a version of Samba server that is affected by a local file disclosure attack vector.

Description

Versions of Samba 4.4.x prior to 4.4.12, 4.5.x prior to 4.5.7, and 4.6.x prior to 4.6.1 are unpatched, and therefore affected by a race condition that is triggered after the 'realpath()' system call has checked a path. This may allow a local attacker to potentially rename a recently checked path and use a symlink to read from unauthorized parts of the file system.

Solution

Upgrade Samba to version 4.6.1 or later. If version 4.6.x cannot be obtained, versions 4.5.7, and 4.4.12 are also patched for these issues.
