Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.844634
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-4559-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'samba' package(s) announced via the USN-4559-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'samba' package(s) announced via the USN-4559-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Tom Tervoort discovered that the Netlogon protocol implemented by Samba
incorrectly handled the authentication scheme. A remote attacker could use
this issue to forge an authentication token and steal the credentials of
the domain admin.

While a previous security update fixed the issue by changing the 'server
schannel' setting to default to 'yes', instead of 'auto', which forced a
secure netlogon channel, this update provides additional improvements.

For compatibility reasons with older devices, Samba now allows specifying
an insecure netlogon configuration per machine. See the following link for
examples: [link moved to references]

In addition, this update adds additional server checks for the protocol
attack in the client-specified challenge to provide some protection when
'server schannel = no/auto' and avoid the false-positive results when
running the proof-of-concept exploit.

Affected Software/OS:
'samba' package(s) on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
