Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2127)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information or perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in winbindd_pam_auth_crap.c in winbind AUTH_CRAP when performing NTLM authentication. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or crash the server.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3437)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the GSSAPI unwrap_des() and unwrap_des3() routines of Heimdal. A remote user can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4091)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to truncate read-only files.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the way SMB protocol implementation in Samba handles file operations. A remote user can request read-only access to files and then truncate them to 0 bytes by opening files with OVERWRITE disposition when using the acl_xattr Samba VFS module with the smb.conf setting "acl_xattr:ignore system acls = yes".


4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34966)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions on servers where Spotlight is explicitly enabled globally or on individual shares with "spotlight = yes".


5) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34967)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when parsing Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the server, trigger a type confusion error and crash the server.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34968)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted RPC request to the server and obtain real server-side share path.
