samba regression
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

USN-6425-1 introduced a regression in Samba.

Software Description:
- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix

Details:

USN-6425-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. Due to a build issue on Ubuntu
20.04 LTS, the update introduced regressions in macro handling and
possibly other functionality.

This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 Sri Nagasubramanian discovered that the Samba acl_xattr VFS module
 incorrectly handled read-only files. When Samba is configured to ignore
 system ACLs, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to truncate
 read-only files. (CVE-2023-4091)
  Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the DirSync
 control. A remote attacker with an RODC DC account could possibly use this
 issue to obtain all domain secrets. (CVE-2023-4154)
  Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the rpcecho
 development server. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
 cause Samba to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.
 (CVE-2023-42669)
  Kirin van der Veer discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain RPC
 service listeners. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
 Samba to start multiple incompatible RPC listeners, resulting in a denial
 of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04.
 (CVE-2023-42670)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  samba                           2:4.15.13+dfsg-0ubuntu0.20.04.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
