CVE-2014-3493

La función push_ascii en smbd en Samba 3.6.x anterior a 3.6.24, 4.0.x anterior a 4.0.19 y 4.1.x anterior a 4.1.9 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de demonio) a través de in intento de leer un nombre de ruta Unicode sin especificar el uso de Unicode, que conduce a un fallo de conversión de configuración de carácter que provoca una referencia a puntero inválida.

It was discovered that smbd, the Samba file server daemon, did not properly handle certain files that were stored on the disk and used a valid Unicode character in the file name. An attacker able to send an authenticated non-Unicode request that attempted to read such a file could cause smbd to crash.

In Samba before 3.6.23, the SAMR server neglects to ensure that attempted password changes will update the bad password count, and does not set the lockout flags. This would allow a user unlimited attempts against the password by simply calling ChangePasswordUser2 repeatedly. This is available without any other authentication. Information leak vulnerability in the VFS code, allowing an authenticated user to retrieve eight bytes of uninitialized memory when shadow copy is enabled. Samba versions before 3.6.24, 4.0.19, and 4.1.9 are vulnerable to a denial of service on the nmbd NetBIOS name services daemon. A malformed packet can cause the nmbd server to loop the CPU and prevent any further NetBIOS ame service. Samba versions before 3.6.24, 4.0.19, and 4.1.9 are affected by a denial of service crash involving overwriting memory on an authenticated connection to the smbd file server. An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the Samba daemon (smbd). A malicious Samba client could send specially crafted netlogon packets that, when processed by smbd, could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running smbd (by default, the root user).
