Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150716
Category:General
Title:Samba 3.0.0 <= 3.0.1 Vulnerability (CVE-2004-0082)
Summary:mksmbpasswd shell script may create accounts with easily guessable passwords.
Description:Summary:
mksmbpasswd shell script may create accounts with easily guessable passwords.

Vulnerability Insight:
It has been confirmed that previous versions of Samba 3.0 are
susceptible to a password initialization bug that could grant an
attacker unauthorized access to a user account created by the
mksmbpasswd.sh shell script.

Samba administrators not wishing to upgrade to the current
version should download the 3.0.2 release, build the pdbedit
tool, and run

root# pdbedit-3.0.2 --force-initialized-passwords

This will disable all accounts not possessing a valid password
(e.g. the password field has been set a string of X's).

Samba servers running 3.0.2 are not vulnerable to this bug
regardless of whether or not pdbedit has been used to sanitize
the passdb backend.

Affected Software/OS:
Samba versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.1.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
7.5
