samba vulnerabilities


A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 19.10
  • Ubuntu 19.04
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary


Several security issues were fixed in Samba.

Software Description

  • samba - SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
Details


Andreas Oster discovered that the Samba DNS management server incorrectly handled certain records. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to crash Samba, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2019-14861)

Isaac Boukris discovered that Samba did not enforce the Kerberos DelegationNotAllowed feature restriction, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2019-14870)
