A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in all versions of Samba since 4.0 compiled with Heimdal Kerberos.
Heimdalβs GSSAPI library routines unwrap_des() and unwrap_des3() (DES for Samba 4.11 and earlier, Triple-DES for later versions) contain a length-limited write heap buffer overflow on malloc() allocated memory when presented with a maliciously small packet. The issue can be avoided by compiling Samba with MIT Kerberos using the flag ββwith-system-mitkrb5β. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via network, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3437)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
