CVE-2007-0454
CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Samba versions 3.0.6 through 3.0.23d
Samba version 3.0.24 and earlier
Description:
The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the Samba package, which can be exploited remotely to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. Specifically, a format string vulnerability exists in the afsacl.so VFS module, allowing context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a filename on an AFS file system. This occurs because the module does not properly handle Windows ACL mapping.
Recommendations:
For Samba versions 3.0.6 through 3.0.23d, update to version 3.0.24 or later to resolve the issue.
For Samba version 3.0.24 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.0.24 to mitigate the risk.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the afsacl.so VFS module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix
Use of Externally-Controlled Format String
