CVE-2017-11103.html:

====================================================================
== Subject:     Orpheus' Lyre mutual authentication validation bypass
==
== CVE ID#:     CVE-2017-11103 (Heimdal)
==
== Versions:    All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 onwards using
==              embedded Heimdal Kerberos.
==
==              Samba binaries built against MIT Kerberos are not
==              vulnerable.
==
== Summary:     A MITM attacker may impersonate a trusted server
==              and thus gain elevated access to the domain by
==              returning malicious replication or authorization data.

====================================================================

===========
Description
===========

All versions of Samba from 4.0.0 include an embedded copy of Heimdal
Kerberos.  Heimdal has made a security release, which disclosed:

Fix CVE-2017-11103: Orpheus' Lyre KDC-REP service name validation

   This is a critical vulnerability.

   In _krb5_extract_ticket() the KDC-REP service name must be obtained from
   encrypted version stored in 'enc_part' instead of the unencrypted version
   stored in 'ticket'.  Use of the unecrypted version provides an
   opportunity for successful server impersonation and other attacks.

   Identified by Jeffrey Altman, Viktor Duchovni and Nico Williams.

   See https://www.orpheus-lyre.info/ for more details.

The impact for Samba is particularly strong for cases where the Samba
DRS replication service contacts another DC requesting replication
of user passwords, as these could then be controlled by the attacker.

==================
Patch Availability
==================

A patch addressing this defect has been posted to

  https://www.samba.org/samba/security/

Additionally, Samba 4.6.6, 4.5.12 and 4.4.15 have been issued as security
releases to correct the defect.  Samba vendors and administrators running
affected versions linked against the embedded Heimdal Kerberos are advised to
upgrade or apply the patch as soon as possible.

==========
Workaround
==========

Samba versions built against MIT Kerberos are not impacted.  Unless
you are running Samba as an AD DC, then rebuild samba using:

 ./configure --with-system-mitkrb5.
