samba vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
Several security issues were fixed in Samba.
Software Description
USN-4167-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Samba. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM and Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Michael Hanselmann discovered that the Samba client code incorrectly handled path separators. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause the client to access local pathnames instead of network pathnames. (CVE-2019-10218)
Adam Xu discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the dirsync LDAP control. A remote attacker with "get changes" permissions could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14847)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 ESM
libsmbclient - 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.20+esm3
samba - 2:4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.20+esm3
Ubuntu 12.04 ESM
libsmbclient - 2:3.6.25-0ubuntu0.12.04.19
