samba: Use after free during DNS zone scavenging in Samba AD DC

Published Jan 21, 2020

Description

There is a use-after-free issue in all samba 4.9.x versions before 4.9.18, all samba 4.10.x versions before 4.10.12 and all samba 4.11.x versions before 4.11.5, essentially due to a call to realloc() while other local variables still point at the original buffer.

Affected products

Remediation

Red Hat statement

This flaw does not affect the version of samba shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux because there is no support for samba as Active Directory Domain Controller.

Red Hat mitigation

The code in question is not run in the default configuration, so the workaround is simply to not set dns zone scavenging = yes
