Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 update for samba

1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

EUVDB-ID: #VU20809

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10197

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error related to caching of responses when the 'wide links' option is explicitly set to 'yes' and either 'unix extensions = no' or 'allow insecure wide links = yes' is set in addition. A remote attacker can that does not have access to a share can send a series of request to an SMB share and gain access to the global root directory on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to read or modify arbitrary files on the system. Note, that unix permissions enforced by kernel will still apply.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU22329

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10218

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in filenames within Samba client code (libsmbclient). A malicious SMB server can return a filename to the client containing directory traversal characters and force the client to read or write data to local files.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the client.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14907

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
