Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.150721
Category:General
Title:Samba 3.0.21 <= 3.0.21c Vulnerability (CVE-2006-1059)
Summary:Exposure of machine account credentials in winbind log files.
Description:Summary:
Exposure of machine account credentials in winbind log files.

Vulnerability Insight:
The machine trust account password is the secret shared
between a domain controller and a specific member server.
Access to the member server machine credentials allows
an attacker to impersonate the server in the domain and
gain access to additional information regarding domain
users and groups.

The winbindd daemon included in Samba 3.0.21 and subsequent
patch releases (3.0.21a-c) writes the clear text of server's
machine credentials to its log file at level 5. The winbindd
log files are world readable by default and often log files
are requested on open mailing lists as tools used to debug
server misconfigurations.

This affects servers configured to use domain or ads security
and possibly Samba domain controllers as well (if configured
to use winbindd).

Affected Software/OS:
Samba versions 3.0.21 through 3.0.21c.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.22 or later.

CVSS Score:
1.2
