Overview
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in Samba. An updated version has been released.
Description
A remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability was discoved to affect Samba versions 2.0.x through 2.2.7a. From their bulletin: The SuSE security audit team, in particular Sebastian Krahmer, has found a flaw in the Samba main smbd code which could allow an external attacker to remotely and anonymously gain Super User (root) privileges on a server running a Samba server. |
Impact
A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Super User, typically root. |
Solution
Upgrade to Samba version 2.2.8. |
The "Protecting an unpatched Samba server" section of the Samba bulletin discusses several work arounds for unpatched servers. |

=============================================================================
FreeBSD-SN-03:01 Security Notice
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: security issue in samba ports
Announced: 2003-04-07
I. Introduction
Several ports in the FreeBSD Ports Collection are affected by security
issues. These are listed below with references and affected versions.
All versions given refer to the FreeBSD port/package version numbers.
The listed vulnerabilities are not specific to FreeBSD unless
otherwise noted.
These ports are not installed by default, nor are they ``part of
FreeBSD'' as such. The FreeBSD Ports Collection contains thousands of
third-party applications in a ready-to-install format. FreeBSD makes
no claim about the security of these third-party applications. See
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/ports/> for more information about the
FreeBSD Ports Collection.
II. Ports
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Port name: net/samba
Affected: versions < samba-2.2.8_2, samba-2.2.8a
Status: Fixed
Two vulnerabilities recently:
(1) Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team identified
vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution as root,
as well as a race condition that could allow overwriting of system
files. (This vulnerability was previously fixed in Samba 2.2.8.)
(2) Digital Defense, Inc. reports: ``This vulnerability, if exploited
correctly, leads to an anonymous user gaining root access on a Samba
serving system. All versions of Samba up to and including Samba 2.2.8
are vulnerable. Alpha versions of Samba 3.0 and above are *NOT*
vulnerable.''

<URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0201 >
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Port name: net/samba-tng
Affected: all versions
Status: Not fixed
Some or all of the vulnerabilities affecting Samba may also affect
Samba-TNG. No confirmation or official patches are available at the
time of this security notice.
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
III. Upgrading Ports/Packages
To upgrade a fixed port/package, perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your Ports Collection and rebuild and reinstall the port.
Several tools are available in the Ports Collection to make this
easier. See:
/usr/ports/devel/portcheckout
/usr/ports/misc/porteasy
/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
2) Deinstall the old package and install a new package obtained from
[FreeBSD 4.x, i386]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/All/
[FreeBSD 5.x, i386]
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/All/
Packages are not automatically generated for other architectures at
this time.
Note that new, official packages may not be available on all mirrors
immediately. In the interim, Security Officer-generated packages (and
detached digital signatures) are available for the i386 architecture
at:
[FreeBSD 4.x, i386]
ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/security-officer/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/samba-2.2.8_2.tgz
ftp://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/security-officer/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/samba-2.2.8_2.tgz.asc

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
FreeBSD Security Notices are communications from the Security Officer
intended to inform the user community about potential security issues,
such as bugs in the third-party applications found in the Ports
Collection, which will not be addressed in a FreeBSD Security
Advisory.

Package: samba
Vulnerability: remote root exploit / chown race condition
OpenPKG Specific: no
Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
OpenPKG CURRENT <= samba-2.2.7a-20030207 >= samba-2.2.8-20030316
OpenPKG 1.2 <= samba-2.2.7a-1.2.0 >= samba-2.2.7a-1.2.1
OpenPKG 1.1 <= samba-2.2.5-1.1.1 >= samba-2.2.5-1.1.2
Dependent Packages: none
Description:
Sebastian Krahmer, SuSE Security Team, [0] has alerted the Samba Team
to two serious vulnerabilities in all versions of Samba [1] up to and
including version 2.2.7a. We have backported the security relevant
pieces of the 2.2.8 vendor changes into releases used by OpenPKG.
If exploited correctly, it could lead to an anonymous user gaining
root access on a Samba serving system. All versions of Samba up to
and including Samba 2.2.7a are vulnerable. The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2003-0085 [2] to the
problem.
In addition he pointed out a chown(2) race condition which could
allow overwriting of critical system files if exploited. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
CAN-2003-0086 [3] to the problem.
Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
samba". If you have the "samba" package installed and its version is
affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
(see Solution). [4][5]
Solution:
Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
[6][7], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [8][9] or a mirror
location, verify its integrity [10], build a corresponding binary
RPM from it [4] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
binary RPM [5]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the
following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
other releases adjust accordingly).
$ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
ftp> bin
ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
ftp> get samba-2.2.7a-1.2.1.src.rpm
ftp> bye
$ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig samba-2.2.7a-1.2.1.src.rpm
$ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.7a-1.2.1.src.rpm

Title : SMB/CIFS Security Vulnerability in Samba
Number : 20030302-01-I
Date : March 19, 2003
Reference: CVE CAN-2003-0085
Reference: CVE CAN-2003-0086
Reference: SGI BUGS 883509 884044
Fixed in : Samba version 2.2.8
______________________________________________________________________________
- -----------------------
- --- Issue Specifics ---
- -----------------------
It's been reported that there is a SMB/CIFS packet fragment re-assembly code
vulnerability in versions of Samba prior to version 2.2.8. A successful
exploit of this vulnerability could allow an external attacker to remotely
and anonymously gain root privilege on a system running the Samba server.
See http://us1.samba.org/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.2.8.html
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0085
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0086
for more details.
SGI has investigated the issues 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 2.2.8.
- --------------
- --- 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
2.2.8, then the system is vulnerable.
- ----------------------------
- --- Temporary Workaround ---
- ----------------------------
Though it is possible to limit exposure by filtering what IPs can talk to
your Samba server, there is no effective workaround to fully address these
problems. SGI recommends upgrading to Samba version 2.2.8.
- ----------------
- --- Solution ---
- ----------------
SGI has provided an instable version of Samba for this vulnerability. Our
recommendation is to upgrade to Samba version 2.2.8.
The free unsupported Samba 2.2.8 version can be currently downloaded
from the following websites:
http://freeware.sgi.com/beta/fw_samba-2.2.8.tardist
http://master.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/IRIX/
For customers who have purchased the SGI supported version of Samba
called samba_irix, please contact your SGI Support Representative and
request CD part number 812-0893-010 -- Samba 2.2.8 for IRIX on CD.

______________________________________________________________________________
1) problem description, brief discussion, solution, upgrade information
Sebastian Krahmer, SuSE Security Team, reviewed security-critical
parts of the Samba server within the scope of security audits that
the SuSE Security Team conducts on a regular basis for security-critical
Open Source Software.
Buffer overflows and a chown race condition have been discovered and
fixed during the security audit. The buffer overflow vulnerabilitiy
allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root on the
system running samba. In addition to the flaws fixed in the samba
server, some overflow conditions in the samba-client package have
been fixed with the available update packages. It is strongly
recommended to install the update packages on a system where the
samba package is used.
There exists no temporary workaround against this vulnerability other
than shutting down the smbd daemon.
We would like to thank the Samba Team, especially Jeremy Allison, Andrew
Bartlett and Volker Lendecke for their quick response and cooperation.
Please note that the package names for SuSE products vary for different
products. There exist the following pairings:
server client
----------------------------
samba smbclnt
samba samba-client
samba-classic samba-classic-client
samba-ldap samba-ldap-client
To find out which packages are installed on your system, you may run
the following command:
rpm -qa|egrep '(samba|smbclnt)'
Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply
the update.
Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages
are being offered to install from the maintenance web.
SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
==============================
After successfully installing the update packages, you should restart
the samba server process(es) to make the changes in the system effective.
If you do not have a samba server running on your system, no further
action is required. If you have a samba server running, please run the
following command as root:
rcsmb restart

2) Pending vulnerabilities in SuSE Distributions and Workarounds:
- wget
New wget packages are available which filter certain characters
such as .. and / in filenames to ensure evil servers cannot overwrite
important system-files or files outside the current directory.
______________________________________________________________________________
3) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information
- Package authenticity verification:
SuSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over
the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important
to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be
sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing
the package. There are two verification methods that can be used
independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded
file or rpm package:
1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement.
2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package.
1) execute the command
md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm>
after you downloaded the file from a SuSE ftp server or its mirrors.
Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is
cryptographically signed (usually using the key security@suse.de),
the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package.
We disrecommend to subscribe to security lists which cause the
email message containing the announcement to be modified so that
the signature does not match after transport through the mailing
list software.
Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the
announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt
and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all
md5 sums for the files are useless.
2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity
of an rpm package. Use the command
rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm>
to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the
filename of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course,
package authenticity verification can only target an un-installed rpm
package file.
Prerequisites:
a) gpg is installed
b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this
key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory
~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the
signature verification (usually root). You can import the key
that is used by SuSE in rpm packages for SuSE Linux by saving
this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and
running the command (do "su -" to be root):
gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import
SuSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the
key "build@suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that
the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key
is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg)
and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de .
