EUVDB-ID: #VU78577

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2127

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information or perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in winbindd_pam_auth_crap.c in winbind AUTH_CRAP when performing NTLM authentication. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or crash the server.

EUVDB-ID: #VU81872

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4091

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to truncate read-only files.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the way SMB protocol implementation in Samba handles file operations. A remote user can request read-only access to files and then truncate them to 0 bytes by opening files with OVERWRITE disposition when using the acl_xattr Samba VFS module with the smb.conf setting "acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes".
