Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.

1) Improper access control

EUVDB-ID: #VU83535

Risk: Low

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

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

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 39

samba: before 4.19.3-1.fc39
