What it is about

Samba ist eine Open Source Software Suite, die Druck- und Dateidienste für SMB/CIFS Clients implementiert. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Samba ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen, um Dateien zu manipulieren, und um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen
  • einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen
  • Dateien zu manipulieren
  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Dell NetWorker
  • Debian Linux
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Fedora Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • SUSE Linux

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source Samba 4.24.3
  • Open Source Samba 4.23.8
  • Open Source Samba 4.22.10
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.21.22
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.20.27
  • Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19.36

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
