Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4496)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Samba 3.x before 3.6.23, 4.0.x before 4.0.16, and 4.1.x before 4.1.6 does not enforce the password-guessing protection mechanism for all interfaces, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via brute-force ChangePasswordUser2 (1) SAMR or (2) RAP attempts.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
