CVE-2019-10218

Se encontró un fallo en el cliente de samba, todas las versiones de samba anteriores a samba 4.11.2, 4.10.10 y 4.9.15, donde un servidor malicioso puede suministrar un nombre de ruta al cliente con separadores. Esto podría permitir al cliente acceder a archivos y carpetas fuera de los nombres de ruta de la red SMB. Un atacante podría usar esta vulnerabilidad para crear archivos fuera del directorio de trabajo actual usando los privilegios de usuario del cliente.

A flaw was found in the samba client where a malicious server can supply a pathname to the client with separators. This could allow the client to access files and folders outside of the SMB network pathnames. An attacker could use this vulnerability to create files outside of the current working directory using the privileges of the client user.

Michael Hanselmann discovered that the Samba client code incorrectly handled path separators. If a user were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause the client to access local pathnames instead of network pathnames. Simon Fonteneau and Bjoern Baumbach discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the check password script. This issue could possibly bypass custom password complexity checks, contrary to expectations. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 19.04, and Ubuntu 19.10. Various other issues were also addressed.
