The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5174-2 advisory.
USN-5174-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. Some of the changes introduced a regression in Kerberos authentication in certain environments.
Please see the following upstream bug for more information:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14922
This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
Stefan Metzmacher discovered that Samba incorrectly handled SMB1 client
connections. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to downgrade
connections to plaintext authentication. (CVE-2016-2124)
Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly mapping domain users to
local users. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to
become root on domain members. (CVE-2020-25717)
Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba did not properly check sensitive
attributes. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to
escalate privileges. (CVE-2020-25722)
Joseph Sutton discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain TGS
requests. An authenticated attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3671)
The fix for CVE-2020-25717 results in possible behaviour changes that could
affect certain environments. Please see the upstream advisory for more
information:
https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2020-25717.html
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
