Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-09-19 02:07:17 UTC
From URL:
"The following applies to Samba used as domain controller only (most
seriously the Active Directory DC, but also the classic/NT4-style DC).

Installations running Samba as a file server only are not directly
affected by this flaw, though they may need configuration changes to
continue to talk to domain controllers (see "file servers and domain
members" below).

The netlogon protocol contains a flaw that allows an authentication
bypass. This was reported and patched by Microsoft as CVE-2020-1472.
Since the bug is a protocol level flaw, and Samba implements the
protocol, Samba is also vulnerable.

However, since version 4.8 (released in March 2018), the default
behaviour of Samba has been to insist on a secure netlogon channel,
which is a sufficient fix against the known exploits. This default is
equivalent to having 'server schannel = yes' in the smb.conf.

Therefore versions 4.8 and above are not vulnerable unless they have
the smb.conf lines 'server schannel = no' or 'server schannel = auto'.

Samba versions 4.7 and below are vulnerable unless they have 'server
schannel = yes' in the smb.conf.

Note each domain controller needs the correct settings in its smb.conf.

Vendors supporting Samba 4.7 and below are advised to patch their
installations and packages to add this line to the [global] section if
their smb.conf file.

The 'server schannel = yes' smb.conf line is equivalent to Microsoft's
'FullSecureChannelProtection=1' registry key, the introduction of
which we understand forms the core of Microsoft's fix.

Consequences
============

[...]

The krbtgt password allows the attacker to issue a 'golden ticket' to
themselves and return to take over the domain at any point in the
future.

Other consequences includes disclosure of session keys, as well as
general denial of service to the trust account selected.

[...]

Exploitability of Samba despite 'server schannel = yes'
=======================================================

The published proof of concept exploit for this issue only attempts to
authenticate to the NetLogon service but does not attempt a takeover of
the domain.

On domains with 'server schannel = yes', these tests claim to show a
vulnerability against Samba despite being unable to access any
privileged functionality.

This Samba release adds additional server checks for the protocol
attack in the client-specified challenge that provides some protection
when 'server schannel = no/auto' and avoids this false-positive
result.

These server checks are identical to the server logic added by
Microsoft for their patch for the Windows server code for
CVE-2020-1472. The Samba Team would like to thank Microsoft for their
disclosure of the method used to prevent the proof of concept exploit
code from working against such a hardened server."

Please bump to 4.10.18, 4.11.13, and 4.12.7. 4.13.0_rc6 is also out, but 4.13 does not yet have keywords in Gentoo.
