Sun(sm) Alert Notification
* Sun Alert ID: 57730
* Synopsis: Security Vulnerability in Samba(7) Versions Prior to
3.0.10 May Allow Unauthorized Root Privileges
* Category: Security
* Product: Solaris
* BugIDs: 6217228
* Avoidance: Workaround
* State: Committed
* Date Released: 24-Jan-2005
* Date Closed:
* Date Modified:

1. Impact An integer overflow security issue with the Samba(7)
smbd(1m) daemon may allow a local or remote authenticated user the
ability to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of Super
User (typically root), on a Solaris 9 system running as a Samba(7)
server.

More information on this issue is available at:

* CERT Vulnerability Note VU#226184 at:
[2]http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/226184
* CVE CAN-2004-1154 at:
[3]http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1154
* Samba Security Announcement at:
[4]http://www.samba.org/samba/security/CAN-2004-1154.html

2. Contributing Factors This issue can occur in the following
releases:

SPARC Platform

* Solaris 9

x86 Platform

* Solaris 9

Note: Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 do not include the Samba software and
are not affected by this issues. Sun does include Samba on the Solaris
Companion CD for Solaris 8 as an unsupported package which installs to
"/opt/sfw" and is vulnerable to this issue. Sites using the freeware
version of Samba from the Solaris Companion CD will need to upgrade to
a later version from Samba.org.

This issue only occurs if all of the following conditions are true:

* The system is configured as a Samba server
* The version of Samba installed is 2.X through 3.0.9

To determine if a system is configured as a Samba server, use the
following command to check for the presence of the smb.conf(4) file:

% ls -l /etc/sfw/smb.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 11665 Sep 28 16:37 /etc/sfw/smb.conf


If the output is similar to that shown above, the system is configured
as a Samba server.

To determine the version of Samba installed on a system, the following
command can be run:

% /usr/sfw/sbin/smbd -V
Version 3.0.4

3. Symptoms Unsuccessful exploitation attempts may leave evidence of
an attack in system logs.

4. Relief/Workaround To work around the described issue, download and
compile samba 3.0.10 or higher from Samba.org

Follow the security suggestions from the samba team at:

5. Resolution A final resolution is pending completion.
