Description:
HP9000 servers running CIFS/9000 Server (Samba) are vulnerable to buffer overflows in several command line options using the opt/cifsclient/bin/cifslogin utility. By passing an overly long argument to the -U, -D, -P, -S, -N, or -u command line option, a local attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Consequences:
Gain Privileges
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of CIFS/9000 A.01.06, and then apply the PHNE_24164 patch, available from the Hewlett-Packard Support Web site. See References.
—OR—
Upgrade to CIFS/9000 version A.01.07 when it becomes available.
