A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Samba.

Software Description:
- samba: SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix

Details:

Evgeny Legerov discovered that Samba incorrectly handled buffers in
certain GSSAPI routines of Heimdal. A remote attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause Samba to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2022-3437)

Greg Hudson discovered that Samba incorrectly handled PAC parsing. On
32-bit systems, a remote attacker could use this issue to escalate
privileges, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42898)

Joseph Sutton discovered that Samba could be forced to issue rc4-hmac
encrypted Kerberos tickets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to escalate privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-45141)

Florent Saudel discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain Spotlight
requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to
consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-34966)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.29+esm1
