Category:General
Title:Samba Server 'CVE-2017-14746' Use-after-free Vulnerability
Summary:Samba is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Samba is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The flaw exists due to a client which may use an SMB1
request to manipulate the contents of heap space.

Vulnerability Impact:
A malicious SMB1 request can be used to control the contents
of heap memory via a deallocated heap pointer. It is possible this may be used to compromise
the SMB server.

Affected Software/OS:
Samba versions 4.0.0 to 4.5.14, 4.6.x prior to 4.6.11, 4.7.x
prior to 4.7.3 with enabled SMBv1 support.

Solution:
Update to Samba 4.5.15, 4.6.11, 4.7.3 or later. Workaround:

Prevent SMB1 access to the server by setting the parameter:

server min protocol = SMB2

to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restart smbd. This prevents a SMB1 access to the
server. Note this could cause older clients to be unable to connect to the server.

CVSS Score:
7.5
