>=========================================================== >== Subject: Heap corruption via crafted DN strings >== >== CVE ID#: CVE-2020-27840 >== >== Versions: All Samba versions since Samba 4.0.0 >== >== Summary: An anonymous attacker can crash the Samba AD DC >== LDAP server by sending easily crafted DNs as >== part of a bind request. More serious heap corruption >== is likely also possible. >=========================================================== > >=========== >Description >=========== > >A DN may be represented in string form with arbitrary amounts of space >around the component values. These spaces are supposed to be ignored, >but invalid DNs strings with spaces may instead cause a zero byte to >be written into out-of-bounds memory. > >An LDAP bind request can send a string DN as a username. This DN is >necessarily parsed before the password is checked, so an attacker >without real credentials can anonymously trigger this bug. > >The location of zero byte is a negative offset relative to the >location of a dynamically allocated heap buffer; the exact offset >depends on the DN string. While it is possible for an attacker to >cause non-fatal data corruption, usefully targeting this is likely to >be difficult and the most likely outcome is a crash. > >The affected parsing routine is widely used. LDAP bind is not the only >way to trigger the bug remotely, though it appears to be the only >unauthenticated method. > >For technical details of the vulnerability, see the patch and >the bug at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14595. > >================== >Patch Availability >================== > >Patches addressing both these issues have been posted to: > > https://www.samba.org/samba/security/ > >Additionally, Samba 4.14.1, 4.13.6 and 4.12.13 have been issued >as security releases to correct the defect. Samba administrators are >advised to upgrade to these releases or apply the patch as soon >as possible. > >================== >CVSSv3 calculation >================== > >CVSSv3.1: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (7.5) > >========================= >Workaround and mitigation >========================= > >None. > >======= >Credits >======= > >Found and fixed by Douglas Bagnall of Catalyst and the Samba Team, >using Honggfuzz. > >Advisory written by Douglas Bagnall. > >========================================================== >== Our Code, Our Bugs, Our Responsibility. >== The Samba Team >==========================================================
