Severity: Important
Status: Ongoing
Statement

The Samba Team has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in multiple versions of Samba. CVE-2022-32742 will affect a susceptible version of ADM with SMB1 service enabled.

CVE-2022-2031, CVE-2022-32744, and CVE-2022-32746 allow remote authenticated users to bypass security constraint and conduct denial-of-service attacks via a susceptible version of ADM with SMB service enabled.

Affected products   

Mitigation
The administrators can set ‘Lowest SMB version’ of the SMB service as SMB2 to mitigate the specific vulnerability: CVE-2022-32742.

The administrators can disable SMB service to mitigate the specific vulnerabilities. In environments where SMB service is still needed, changing your password and using a strong password for SMB client connection authentication can be used as temporary mitigation.

Detail

• CVE-2022-32742
  Severity: Moderate
  A flaw was found in Samba. Some SMB1 write requests were not correctly range-checked to ensure the client had sent enough data to fulfill the write, allowing server memory contents to be written into the file (or printer) instead of client-supplied data. The client cannot control the area of the server memory written to the file (or printer).
• CVE-2022-2031
  Severity: Moderate
  A flaw was found in Samba. The security vulnerability occurs when KDC and the kpasswd service share a single account and set of keys, allowing them to decrypt each other’s tickets. A user who has been requested to change their password, can exploit this flaw to obtain and use tickets to other services.
• CVE-2022-32744
  Severity: High
  A flaw was found in Samba. The KDC accepts kpasswd requests encrypted with any key known to it. By encrypting forged kpasswd requests with its own key, a user can change other users’ passwords, enabling full domain takeover.

• CVE-2022-32745
  Severity: Moderate
  A flaw was found in Samba. Samba AD users can cause the server to access uninitialized data with an LDAP add or modify the request, usually resulting in a segmentation fault.

• CVE-2022-32746
  Severity: Moderate
  A flaw was found in the Samba AD LDAP server. The AD DC database audit logging module can access LDAP message values freed by a preceding database module, resulting in a use-after-free issue. This issue is only possible when modifying certain privileged attributes, such as userAccountControl.
