Descriptions

A path disclosure vulnerability was found in Samba. As part of the Spotlight protocol, Samba discloses the server-side absolute path of shares, files, and directories in the results for search queries. This flaw allows a malicious client or an attacker with a targeted RPC request to view the information that is part of the disclosed path.

It was discovered that Samba incorrectly handled Winbind NTLM authentication responses. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Andreas Schneider discovered that Samba incorrectly enforced SMB2 packet signing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain or modify sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04.
