medium Nessus Plugin ID 65994

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

It was discovered that Samba incorrectly handled CIFS share attributes when SMB2 was used. A remote authenticated user could possibly gain write access to certain shares, bypassing the intended permissions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected samba package.
