CVE-2018-1050
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Samba versions 4.0.0 and later
Description
The issue is related to a denial of service attack when the RPC spoolss service is configured to run as an external daemon. Missing input sanitization checks on some input parameters to spoolss RPC calls could cause the print spooler service to crash, allowing a remote attacker to disrupt the service. This is due to the lack of input validation for certain parameters in the spoolss RPC calls.
Recommendations
For Samba versions 4.0.0 and later, consider disabling the RPC spoolss service or restricting its use as an external daemon until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the spoolss RPC calls to minimize the risk of exploitation.
