Synopsis: Important: samba security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:0625-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0625.html

Issue date: 2016-04-12

CVE-2016-2115 CVE-2016-2118

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for samba is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4

Extended Lifecycle Support.

 

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact

of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,

which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability

from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4 ELS) - i386, ia64, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4 ELS) - i386, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

Samba is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB)

protocol and the related Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol, which

allow PC-compatible machines to share files, printers, and various

information.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* A protocol flaw, publicly referred to as Badlock, was found in the

Security Account Manager Remote Protocol (MS-SAMR) and the Local Security

Authority (Domain Policy) Remote Protocol (MS-LSAD). Any authenticated

DCE/RPC connection that a client initiates against a server could be used

by a man-in-the-middle attacker to impersonate the authenticated user

against the SAMR or LSA service on the server. As a result, the attacker

would be able to get read/write access to the Security Account Manager

database, and use this to reveal all passwords or any other potentially

sensitive information in that database. (CVE-2016-2118)

 

* Several flaws were found in Samba's implementation of NTLMSSP

authentication. An unauthenticated, man-in-the-middle attacker could use

this flaw to clear the encryption and integrity flags of a connection,

causing data to be transmitted in plain text. The attacker could also force

the client or server into sending data in plain text even if encryption was

explicitly requested for that connection. (CVE-2016-2110)

 

* It was discovered that Samba configured as a Domain Controller would

establish a secure communication channel with a machine using a spoofed

computer name. A remote attacker able to observe network traffic could use

this flaw to obtain session-related information about the spoofed machine.

(CVE-2016-2111)

 

* It was found that Samba's LDAP implementation did not enforce integrity

protection for LDAP connections. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use

this flaw to downgrade LDAP connections to use no integrity protection,

allowing them to hijack such connections. (CVE-2016-2112)

 

* It was found that Samba did not enable integrity protection for IPC

traffic by default. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to

view and modify the data sent between a Samba server and a client.

(CVE-2016-2115)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Samba project for reporting these issues.

Upstream acknowledges Stefan Metzmacher (SerNet) as the original reporter

of CVE-2016-2118, CVE-2016-2110, CVE-2016-2112, and CVE-2016-2115.

 

4. Solution:

 

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
