-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2002.681 -- SGI Security Advisory Samba Security Vulnerability 06 December 2002 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: Samba prior to 2.2.7 Vendor: SGI Operating System: IRIX 6.5.18 and prior Impact: Root Compromise Access Required: Remote - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SGI Security Advisory Title : Samba Security Vulnerability Number : 20021204-01-I Date : December 5, 2002 Reference: CVE CAN-2002-1318 Reference: SGI BUG 874162 Fixed in : Samba v2.2.7 ______________________________________________________________________________ - - ----------------------- - - --- Issue Specifics --- - - ----------------------- It's been reported that versions of Samba prior to 2.2.7 have a security vulnerability that could potentially allow an attacker to gain root access on the target machine. The word "potentially" is used because there is no known exploit of this bug. SGI has not found one, nor has the Samba group found one. Nevertheless, the vulnerability is considered serious. See http://www.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.7.html for additional details. This vulnerability was assigned the following CVE candidate: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-1318 SGI has investigated the issue and recommends the following steps for neutralizing the exposure. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that these measures be implemented on ALL vulnerable SGI systems. These issues have been corrected in Samba version 2.2.7. - - -------------- - - --- Impact --- - - -------------- Samba is an optional product, and is not installed by default on IRIX 6.5 systems. To determine the version of IRIX you are running, execute the following command: # /bin/uname -R That will return a result similar to the following: # 6.5 6.5.16f The first number ("6.5") is the release name, the second ("6.5.16f" in this case) is the extended release name. The extended release name is the "version" we refer to throughout this document. To see if samba is installed, execute the following command: % versions samba_irix I = Installed, R = Removed Name Date Description I samba_irix 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 for IRIX I samba_irix.man 07/02/2002 Samba Online Documentation I samba_irix.man.doc 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 Documentation I samba_irix.man.manpages 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 Man Page I samba_irix.man.relnotes 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 Release Notes I samba_irix.src 07/02/2002 Samba Source Code I samba_irix.src.samba 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 Source Code I samba_irix.sw 07/02/2002 Samba Execution Environment I samba_irix.sw.base 07/02/2002 Samba 2.2.4 Execution Environment If the result is similar to the above and the version shown is less than 2.2.7, then the system is vulnerable. - - ---------------------------- - - --- Temporary Workaround --- - - ---------------------------- There is no effective workaround available for these problems if Samba is required. SGI recommends upgrading to Samba version 2.2.7. - - ---------------- - - --- Solution --- - - ---------------- SGI has provided an instable version of Samba for this vulnerability. Our recommendation is to upgrade to Samba version 2.2.7. Samba 2.2.7 can be downloaded from http://www.samba.org/ or http://freeware.sgi.com/ For customers who have purchased the SGI supported version of Samba, please contact your SGI Support Representative and request part number 812-0893-008 -- Samba 2.2.7 for IRIX on CD.
