Public on
Last Modified:
Description
A flaw was found in the way an LDAP search expression could crash the shared LDAP server process of a samba AD DC. An authenticated user, having read permissions on the LDAP server, could use this flaw to cause denial of service.
Statement
The versions of samba packages shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7 do not support Active Directory Domain Controller mode, therefore are not affected by this flaw. This issue did not affect the version of samba as shipped with 'Red Hat Gluster Storage 3' as they did not include support for Active Directory Domain Controller.

Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
Red Hat | NVD | |

Attack Complexity | Low | Low |
Privileges Required | Low | Low |
User Interaction | None | None |
Scope | Unchanged | Unchanged |
Confidentiality Impact | None | None |
Integrity Impact | None | None |
Availability Impact | High | High |
