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 vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen, einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen oder Daten zu manipulieren.

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

  • vertrauliche Informationen offenzulegen
  • Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu umgehen
  • einen Denial-of-Service-Zustand herbeizuführen oder Daten zu manipulieren

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Debian Linux
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Fedora Linux
  • IBM Storage Scale
  • SUSE Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • Open Source Samba <4.22.11
  • Open Source Samba <4.23.10
  • Open Source Samba <4.24.5

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source Samba 4.22.11
  • Open Source Samba 4.23.10
  • Open Source Samba 4.24.5

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.
