Title:Samba Information Leak Vulnerability (CVE-2018-14628)
Summary:Samba is prone to an information leak vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Samba is prone to an information leak vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Samba is vulnerable to an information leak (compared with the
established behaviour of Microsoft's Active Directory) when Samba is an Active Directory Domain
Controller.

Missing access control checks on the LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DELETED_OID control in the DSDB database
layer cause the LDAP server to disclose, to authenticated but not privileged users, the names and
preserved attributes of deleted objects. (Microsoft AD simply does not return these objects on a
search).

No information that was hidden before the deletion is visible, but in Microsoft Active Directory
the whole object is also not visible without administrative rights, whereas Samba allows read of
limited set of attributes that are preserved after delete.

There is no further vulnerability associated with this error, merely an information disclosure.

Affected Software/OS:
Samba versions from 4.0.0 onwards.

Solution:
Update to version 4.18.9, 4.19.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
4.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:N/A:N
