Description

A flaw was found in Samba. Some SMB1 write requests were not correctly range-checked to ensure the client had sent enough data to fulfill the write, allowing server memory contents to be written into the file (or printer) instead of client-supplied data. The client cannot control the area of the server memory written to the file (or printer).

CVSS score applicability

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

Mitigation

This is an SMB1-only vulnerability. Since Samba release 4.11.0, SMB1 has been disabled by default. We do not recommend enabling SMB1 server support. For Samba versions prior to 4.11.0, please disable SMB1 by adding

server min protocol = SMB2_02

to the [global] section of your smb.conf and restarting smbd.
