Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU27376

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10700

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when Paged results control is combined with ASQ control while performing search operations. A remote authenticated user can send a specially crafted LDAP search query, trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-fs/samba to version: 4.11.11
