Ubuntu update for samba

1) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU71486

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 0.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20251

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a brute-force attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in Samba when incrementing bad password attempts. Each connection to Samba gets a separate process, and each process loads, increments, and saves the bad password count without any coordination. A remote attacker can perform a brute-force attack using multiple threats and bypass imposed limits on the number of allowed incorrect passwords.

Mitigation

Update the affected package samba to the latest version.
