AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C

An out-of-bounds heap read write vulnerability was found in Samba. Due to a boundary error when processing EA metadata while opening files in smbd within the VFS Samba module (vfs_fruit), a remote attacker with ability to write to file’s extended attributes can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Mitigation

As a workaround remove the "fruit" VFS module from the list of configured VFS objects in any "vfs objects" line in the Samba configuration smb.conf.

Note that changing the VFS module settings fruit:metadata or fruit:resource to use the unaffected setting causes all stored information to be inaccessible and will make it appear to macOS clients as if the information is lost.
