Discussion

Samba SMBPrint Sample Script Insecure Temporary File Handling Symbolic Link Vulnerability

It has been reported that the 'smbprint-new.sh' sample Samba script is prone to a local insecure temporary file handling symbolic link vulnerability. This issue is due to a design error that allows the application to insecurely write to a temporary file that is created with a predictable file name.

An attacker may exploit this issue to corrupt arbitrary files. This corruption may potentially result in the elevation of privileges, or in a system wide denial of service.

It should be noted that the 'smbprint-new.sh' is a sample script located in the 'examples' directory. This script is not intended for commercial use. The 'smbprint' script included in the 'packaging' directory is not vulnerable to this issue. Individual package distributions may vary.

Exploit / POC

Samba SMBPrint Sample Script Insecure Temporary File Handling Symbolic Link Vulnerability

No exploit is required to leverage this issue.

Solution / Fix

Samba SMBPrint Sample Script Insecure Temporary File Handling Symbolic Link Vulnerability

Solution:
Gentoo have released an advisory (GLSA 200404-21) and have made an updated eBuild available to address this issue. Gentoo have recommended that users run the following commands to merge the fixed eBuild:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.2a-r2"
# emerge ">=net-fs/samba-3.0.2a-r2"

Those using Samba's password database also need to run the following command:
# pdbedit --force-initialized-passwords

Netwosix has realeased an advisory (LNSA-#2004-0013) and fixes for this issue. To obtain fixed packages, users should execute the following commands:
# cd $somewhere
# wget http://download.netwosix.org/0013/nepote
# sh nepote
