samba: Fix of 4 CVEs

  • CVE-2019-3880: Refuse winreg SaveKey/RestoreKey RPCs to prevent writing registry hive files outside intended share boundaries via symlink races
  • CVE-2019-10218: Reject server-supplied filenames containing path separators in SMB1 directory listings to protect libsmbclient consumers from path traversal attacks
  • CVE-2018-1050: Already fixed - upstream patch 0207 applied since the initial import
  • CVE-2019-3824: Not affected - the vulnerable ldb_tdb / AD DC code lives in source4, which is not built by this spec (samba_source = source3)

Updated ldb packages fix security vulnerability

Garming Sam reported an out-of-bounds read in the ldb_wildcard_compare() function of ldb, resulting in denial of service (CVE-2019-3824).

The ldb package has been updated to version 1.2.4 to fix this issue. The sssd and samba packages have been rebuilt against the updated ldb.

If a user was configured with no home directory set, sssd would return '/' (the root directory) instead of '' (the empty string / no home directory). This could impact services that restrict the user's filesystem access to within their home directory through chroot() etc. All versions before 2.1 are vulnerable. (CVE-2019-3811)
