Samba "send_mailslot()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
<http://www.samba.org/> Samba is "an Open Source/Free Software suite that
has, since 1992, provided file and print services to all manner of
SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows
operating systems. Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public
License". Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Samba, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Samba version 3.0.27a
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"send_mailslot()" function. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow with zero bytes via a specially crafted "SAMLOGON" domain
logon packet containing a username string placed at an odd offset followed
by an overly long GETDC string.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires
that the "domain logons" option is enabled.
