"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1779354406 advisory.
- A flaw was found in samba. A race condition in the password lockout code may lead to the risk of brute
force attacks being successful if special conditions are met. (CVE-2021-20251)
- All versions of Samba prior to 4.15.5 are vulnerable to a malicious client using a server symlink to
determine if a file or directory exists in an area of the server file system not exported under the share
definition. SMB1 with unix extensions has to be enabled in order for this attack to succeed.
(CVE-2021-44141)
- A Type Confusion vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing
Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets, one encoded data structure is a key-value style dictionary where the keys
are character strings, and the values can be any of the supported types in the mdssvc protocol. Due to a
lack of type checking in callers of the dalloc_value_for_key() function, which returns the object
associated with a key, a caller may trigger a crash in talloc_get_size() when talloc detects that the
passed-in pointer is not a valid talloc pointer. With an RPC worker process shared among multiple client
connections, a malicious client or attacker can trigger a process crash in a shared RPC mdssvc worker
process, affecting all other clients this worker serves. (CVE-2023-34967)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
