Rule:
--
Sid: 2103
--
Summary:
A buffer overflow exists in the Samba file and print sharing software
that can allow a remote attacker to gain root privileges on the target
script to exploit this vulnerability.
--
Impact:
An attacker can cause the target system running Samba to overflow a
buffer presenting the attacker with root privileges.
--
Detailed Information:
It is possible for an anonymous user to cause a buffer overflow in a
character array by sending data greater than 1024 bytes to the variable
pname. This information is copied by another function causing the buffer
overflow.
Affected Systems:
Samba versions 2.2.5 to 2.2.8
may indicate an attacker verifying the root shell.
--
Attack Scenarios:
The attacker needs to send pname a value larger than 1024 bytes.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple, an exploit script exists.
--
False Positives:
None known.
--
False Negatives:
No false negatives are known at this time.
--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to Samba versions 2.2.8a or Samba-TNG.
