TODO: $VERSION =========================================================== == Subject: Spotlight server-side Share Path Disclosure == == CVE ID#: CVE-2023-34968 == == Versions: All versions of Samba prior to $VERSION == == Summary: As part of the Spotlight protocol Samba == discloses the server-side absolute path of == shares and files and directories in search == results. =========================================================== =========== Description =========== As part of the Spotlight protocol, the initial request returns a path associated with the sharename targetted by the RPC request. Samba returns the real server-side share path at this point, as well as returning the absolute server-side path of results in search queries by clients. Known server side paths could be used to mount subsequent more serious security attacks or could disclose confidential information that is part of the path. ================== Patch Availability ================== Patches addressing both these issues have been posted to: https://www.samba.org/samba/security/ Additionally, Samba $VERSIONS 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 ================== CVSS 3.0: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (5.3) ========== Workaround ========== As a possible workaround disable Spotlight by removing all configuration stanzas that enable Spotlight ("spotlight = yes|true"). ======= Credits ======= Originally reported by Ralph Boehme and Stefan Metzmacher of SerNet and the Samba team.
