Date : 2018-03-13
CVE-ID : CVE-2018-1050 CVE-2018-1057
Package : samba
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-651

Summary
=======

The package samba before version 4.7.6-1 is vulnerable to multiple
issues including access restriction bypass and denial of service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 4.7.6-1.

# pacman -Syu "samba>=4.7.6-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 4.7.6.

Workaround
==========

- CVE-2018-1050

Ensure the parameter:

rpc_server:spoolss = external

is not set in the [global] section of your smb.conf.

- CVE-2018-1057

Revoke the change passwords right for 'the world' from all user objects
(including computers) in the directory, leaving only the right to
change a user's own password.

Description
===========

- CVE-2018-1050 (denial of service)

All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards are vulnerable to a denial of
service attack when the RPC spoolss service is configured to be run as
an external daemon. Missing input sanitization checks on some of the
input parameters to spoolss RPC calls could cause the print spooler
service to crash.

- CVE-2018-1057 (access restriction bypass)

On a Samba 4 AD DC any authenticated user can change other users'
passwords over LDAP, including the passwords of administrative users
and service accounts.

Impact
======

A remote attacker is able to change other users passwords on a Samba 4
AD DC or perform a denial of service attack by sending a specially
crafted request to the spoolss service.
