Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0287
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0287)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'ldb, samba, sssd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0287 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'ldb, samba, sssd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0287 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A flaw was found in samba. Spaces used in a string around a domain name (DN),
while supposed to be ignored, can cause invalid DN strings with spaces to
instead write a zero-byte into out-of-bounds memory, resulting in a crash.
The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability
(CVE-2020-27840).

A flaw was found in samba. The Samba smbd file server must map Windows group
identities (SIDs) into unix group ids (gids). The code that performs this had
a flaw that could allow it to read data beyond the end of the array in the
case where a negative cache entry had been added to the mapping cache. This
could cause the calling code to return those values into the process token
that stores the group membership for a user. The highest threat from this
vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity (CVE-2021-20254).

A flaw was found in Samba's libldb. Multiple, consecutive leading spaces in
an LDAP attribute can lead to an out-of-bounds memory write, leading to a
crash of the LDAP server process handling the request. The highest threat
from this vulnerability is to system availability (CVE-2021-20277).

Also, the samba package for Mageia 7 fixes a scriplet issue when updating.

Additionally, the sssd package has been rebuilt for the updated ldb package.

Affected Software/OS:
'ldb, samba, sssd' package(s) on Mageia 7, Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
