Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Samba up to 3.0.25 (File Transfer Software). Affected by this vulnerability is the function reply_netbios_packet of the component WINS Server. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the reply_netbios_packet function in nmbd/nmbd_packets.c in nmbd in Samba 3.0.0 through 3.0.26a, when operating as a WINS server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted WINS Name Registration requests followed by a WINS Name Query request.

The bug was discovered 11/15/2007. The weakness was published 11/16/2007 by Alin Rad Pop with Secunia Research (Website). The advisory is shared at us-cert.gov. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2007-5398 since 10/12/2007. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 63844 (RHEL 4 : samba (RHSA-2007:1034)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Red Hat Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 185035 (HP-UX Running HP CIFS Server (Samba) Remote Execution of Arbitrary Code Vulnerabiity (HPSBUX02316)).

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published even before and not after the disclosure of the vulnerability. Furthermore it is possible to detect and prevent this kind of attack with TippingPoint and the filter 11906.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (38502), Tenable (63844), SecurityFocus (BID 26455†), OSVDB (39179†) and Secunia (SA27450†).
