The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0313 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

      CVE-2022-2127:
      An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in Samba due to insufficient length checks in     winbindd_pam_auth_crap.c. When performing NTLM authentication, the client replies to cryptographic     challenges back to the server. These replies have variable lengths, and Winbind fails to check the lan     manager response length. When Winbind is used for NTLM authentication, a maliciously crafted request can     trigger an out-of-bounds read in Winbind, possibly resulting in a crash.

      CVE-2023-34966:
      An infinite loop vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing     Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets sent by the client, the core unmarshalling function sl_unpack_loop() did not     validate a field in the network packet that contains the count of elements in an array-like structure. By     passing 0 as the count value, the attacked function will run in an endless loop consuming 100% CPU. This     flaw allows an attacker to issue a malformed RPC request, triggering an infinite loop, resulting in a     denial of service condition.

      CVE-2023-34967:
      A Type Confusion vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing     Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets, one encoded data structure is a key-value style dictionary where the keys     are character strings, and the values can be any of the supported types in the mdssvc protocol. Due to a     lack of type checking in callers of the dalloc_value_for_key() function, which returns the object     associated with a key, a caller may trigger a crash in talloc_get_size() when talloc detects that the     passed-in pointer is not a valid talloc pointer. With an RPC worker process shared among multiple client     connections, a malicious client or attacker can trigger a process crash in a shared RPC mdssvc worker     process, affecting all other clients this worker serves.

      CVE-2023-34968:
      A path disclosure vulnerability was found in Samba. As part of the Spotlight protocol, Samba discloses     the server-side absolute path of shares, files, and directories in the results for search queries. This     flaw allows a malicious client or an attacker with a targeted RPC request to view the information that is     part of the disclosed path.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7582-1 advisory.

    Evgeny Legerov discovered that Samba incorrectly handled buffers in certain GSSAPI routines of Heimdal. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2022-3437)

    Greg Hudson discovered that Samba incorrectly handled PAC parsing. On 32-bit systems, a remote attacker     could use this issue to escalate privileges, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42898)

    Joseph Sutton discovered that Samba could be forced to issue rc4-hmac encrypted Kerberos tickets. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to escalate privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS     and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-45141)

    Florent Saudel discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain Spotlight requests. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
