Overview
It’s CVE bankruptcy! With a deluge of CVEs to cover from the last 2 weeks,
we take a particular look at the ZeroLogon vulnerability in Samba this
week, plus Alex covers the AppArmor 3 release and some recent / upcoming
webinars hosted by the Ubuntu Security team.
This week in Ubuntu Security Updates
121 unique CVEs addressed
[USN-4510-1, USN-4510-2] Samba vulnerability
1 CVEs addressed in Trusty ESM (14.04 ESM), Xenial (16.04 LTS), Bionic (18.04 LTS)CVE-2020-1472 “ZeroLogon”Would allow an attacker who already can communicate with the domaincontroller to reset it’s password and so then take control of the DC and
obtain the domain admin’s credentials
Flaw in the NetLogon protocol would allow the attacker to impersonate anycomputer in the domain, even the DC itself, and execute calls on that
computer’s behalf
This flaw was in the cryptographic authentication scheme employed bythe NetLogon protocol
Samba also implements this protocol - and so contained the same flawIn both cases (Window AD vs Samba) there is an option to use a moresecure authentication mechanism - for older Ubuntu releases like Trusty,
Xenial and Bionic the default configuration as specified by upstream
Samba did not enforce the use of this bu default
So the fix is a simple configuration change to enable this by defaultThis is done by patching Samba directly (rather than trying to say updateeveryone’s deployed /etc/samba.conf or similar) - which still allows a
local admin to turn this off if they so desire (although this is
definitely not recommended)
One example of how Ubuntu tries to be secure by default - when knownbetter security configuration options become available we try and enable
them (whilst weighing up the likelihood of breaking existing installs -
we try very hard not to do this)
Similarly we have done the same for the various spec exec mitigations -almost all default to on even at the expense of a performance hit in that
case
