===========================================================
== Subject:     Empty UDP packet DoS in Samba AD DC nbtd
==
== CVE ID#:     CVE-2020-14303
==
== Versions:    All Samba versions since Samba 4.0.0
==
== Summary:     The AD DC NBT server in Samba 4.0 will enter a
==              CPU spin and not process further requests
==              once it receives a empty (zero-length) UDP
==              packet to port 137.
===========================================================

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

The NetBIOS over TCP/IP name resolution protocol is implemented
as a UDP datagram on port 137.

The AD DC client and server-side processing code for NBT name resolution
will enter a tight loop if a UDP packet with 0 data length is
received.  The client for this case is only found in the AD DC side of
the codebase, not that used by the the member server or file server. 

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

Patches addressing both these issues have been posted to:

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

Additionally, Samba Samba 4.10.17, 4.11.11, and 4.12.4 have been issued
as security releases to correct the defect.  Samba administrators are
advised to upgrade to these releases or apply the patch as soon
as possible.

CVSS v3.1 Vector: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H (7.5)

=========================
Workaround and mitigation
=========================

The NBT server (UDP port 137) is provided by nmbd in the
file-server configuration, which is not impacted by this issue.

In the AD DC, the NBT server can be disabled with
'disable netbios = yes'.
