Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-3223)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The ldb_wildcard_compare function in ldb_match.c in ldb before 1.1.24, as used in the AD LDAP server in Samba 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3, mishandles certain zero values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted packets.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5252)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
vfs.c in smbd in Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3, when share names with certain substring relationships exist, allows remote attackers to bypass intended file-access restrictions via a symlink that points outside of a share.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5296)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 supports connections that are encrypted but unsigned, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct encrypted-to-unencrypted downgrade attacks by modifying the client-server data stream, related to clidfs.c, libsmb_server.c, and smbXcli_base.c.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5299)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The shadow_copy2_get_shadow_copy_data function in modules/vfs_shadow_copy2.c in Samba 3.x and 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 does not verify that the DIRECTORY_LIST access right has been granted, which allows remote attackers to access snapshots by visiting a shadow copy directory.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5330)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
ldb before 1.1.24, as used in the AD LDAP server in Samba 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3, mishandles string lengths, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from daemon heap memory by sending crafted packets and then reading (1) an error message or (2) a database value.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8467)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.
The samldb_check_user_account_control_acl function in dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/samldb.c in Samba 4.x before 4.1.22, 4.2.x before 4.2.7, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3 does not properly check for administrative privileges during creation of machine accounts, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging the existence of a domain with both a Samba DC and a Windows DC, a similar issue to CVE-2015-2535.
