Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
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.

Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2022-01-26 10:16:31 UTC 
As per samba upstream advisory:

All versions of Samba prior to 4.13.17 are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds heap read write vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on affected Samba installations that use the VFS module vfs_fruit.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EA metadata when opening files in smbd. Access as a user that has write access to a file's extended attributes is required to exploit this vulnerability. Note that this could be a guest or unauthenticated user if such users are allowed write access to file extended attributes.

The problem in vfs_fruit exists in the default configuration of the fruit VFS module using fruit:metadata=netatalk or fruit:resource=file. If both options are set to different settings than the default values, the system is not affected by the security issue.
