Security Advisory #2004-014
Package name: samba
Summary: Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns
Advisory ID: TSSA-2004-014
Date: 2004-07-23
Affected versions: tinysofa enterprise server 1.0
===========================================================================
Security Fixes
==============
Description
-----------
samba:
* Samba [0] is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless
file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.
[Issue #1]
The internal routine used by the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT
v3.0.2 and later) to decode the base64 data during HTTP basic
authentication is subject to a buffer overrun caused by an invalid
base64 character.
This same code is used internally to decode the sambaMungedDial
attribute value when using the ldapsam passdb backend.
Sites using an LDAP directory service with Samba are strongly encouraged
to verify that the DIT only allows write access to sambaSamAccount
attributes by a sufficiently authorized user.
This problem has been assigned the name CAN-2004-0600 [1] by the
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project, and was first
reported by Evgeny Demidov.
[Issue #2]
A buffer overrun has been located in the code used to support
the 'mangling method = hash' smb.conf option. The default setting
for this parameter is 'mangling method = hash2' and therefore a
default Samba configuration is not vulnerable.
This problem has been assigned the name CAN-2004-0686 [2] by the
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project.
