Moderate: samba security update (Amazon Linux 2)

Published Nov 29, 2023 · Updated Dec 4, 2023

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2023-4091: SMB client can truncate files 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" CVE-2022-2127: When doing NTLM authentication, the client sends replies to cryptographic challenges back to the server. These replies have variable length. Winbind did not properly bounds-check the lan manager response length, which despite the lan manager version no longer being used is still part of the protocol. If the system is running Samba's ntlm_auth as authentication backend for services like Squid (or a very unusual configuration with FreeRADIUS), the vulnarebility is remotely exploitable If not so configured, or to exploit this vulnerability locally, the user must have access to the privileged winbindd UNIX domain socket (a subdirectory with name 'winbindd_privileged' under "state directory", as set in the smb.conf). This access is normally only given so special system services like Squid or FreeRADIUS, that use this feature.
