Title:           Samba Multiple DoS Vulnerabilities
Version:         1.0
Issue type:      Multiple
Affected vendor: Samba
Release date:    12/05/2010
Discovered by:   Laurent Gaffié
Issue status:    Patch available

===========================================================================
====

Summary
-------

Two vulnerabilities were discovered within in the Samba Smbd daemon which
allow
an attacker to trigger a null pointer dereference or an uninitialized
variable read by sending a specific 'Sessions Setup AndX' query.
Successful exploitation
of these issues will result in a denial of service.

Description
-----------

The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, also known as Common Internet File
System (CIFS) acts as an application-layer protocol to provide shared
access to
files, printers and Inter-Process Communication (IPC). It is also a
transport for Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Call
(DCE / RPC) operations. After negotiating an SMB communication the client
sends a 'Session Setup AndX' packet to negotiate a session in order to be
able to connect on a specific share.

To trigger the null pointer dereference, the client needs to send a crafted
SMB
'Negotiate Protocol' query with the SMB header 'Flags2' set to '0x0003'
(no Unicode), followed by a Session Setup AndX request with the SMB header
'Flags2' set to '0x8003' (Unicode). This sequence will result in a crash
within
the Smbd process.

The uninitialised Variable Read issue, can be triggered if the client sends
a crafted 'Session Setup AndX' with a 'security blob length' value set to
'\xff\xff'.

Impact
------

A remote attacker can cause a denial of service within the Samba daemon

Affected products
-----------------

Samba <=3.4.7 and Samba <= 3.5.1

Proof of concept
----------------

To trigger the uninitialised variable read issue, the following Python
proof of concept is available:

import sys,socket
from socket import *

if len(sys.argv)<=1:
 sys.exit('Usage: python smbd.py 10.0.0.12')

host = sys.argv[1],445
