Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A NULL pointer dereference, or possible use-after-free flaw was found in the Samba AD LDAP server. Although some versions of Samba shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux do not support Samba in AD mode, the affected code is shipped with the libldb package. This flaw allows an authenticated user to possibly trigger a use-after-free or NULL pointer dereference. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2020-06-22 04:53:01 UTC
As per upstream advisory:

Samba has, since Samba 4.5, supported the VLV Active Directory LDAP feature, to allow clients to obtain 'virtual list views' of search results against a Samba AD DC using an LDAP control.

The combination of this control, and the ASQ control combines to allow an authenticated user to trigger a NULL-pointer de-reference.  It is also possible to trigger a use-after-free, both as the code is very similar to that addressed by CVE-2020-10700 and due to the way errors are handled in the dsdb_paged_results module since Samba 4.10.

Comment 3 Hardik Vyas 2020-06-23 10:39:37 UTC
Statement:

The version of samba shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 is built with a private copy of ldb which includes the vulnerable code. However, samba shipped with RHGS 3 is not supported for use as an AD DC and hence this issue has been rated as having a security impact of Low.
