Samba · Samba · CVE-2017-14746
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Samba versions 4.x before 4.7.3
**Description**
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the implementation of the SMB1 protocol in the Samba network interaction software package. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain access to confidential data, compromise data integrity, and cause a denial of service. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SMB1 request, potentially giving them control over the contents of dynamic memory.
**Recommendations**
For Samba versions 4.x before 4.7.3, update to version 4.7.3 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the SMB1 protocol until a patch is available.
