Gentoo update for Samba

1) Improper access control

EUVDB-ID: #VU83535

Risk: Low

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14628

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions when Samba is an Active Directory Domain Controller. When a domain was provisioned with an unpatched Samba version, the ntSecurityDescriptor is simply inherited from Domain/Partition-HEAD-Object instead of being very strict (as on a Windows provisioned domain). This means also non privileged users can use the LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DELETED_OID control in order to view, the names and preserved attributes of deleted objects.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3347

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

4) Improper Authorization

EUVDB-ID: #VU81875

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3961

CWE-ID: CWE-285 - Improper Authorization

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling client pipe names. A remote attacker can provide a specially crafted pipe name containing directory traversal characters and force Samba to connect to Unix domain sockets outside of the private directory meant to restrict the services a client could connect to.The connection to Unix domain sockets is performed as root, which means that if client sends a pipe name that resolved to an external service using an existing Unix domain socket, the client is able to connect to it without any filesystem restrictions.

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.
