CVE-2019-14833: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in Samba, all versions starting samba 4.5.0 before samba 4.9.15, samba 4.10.10, samba 4.11.2, in the way it handles a user password change or a new password for a samba user. The Samba Active Directory Domain Controller can be configured to use a custom script to check for password complexity. This configuration can fail to verify password complexity when non-ASCII characters are used in the password, which could lead to weak passwords being set for samba users, making it vulnerable to dictionary attacks.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 29 only; version 30 only; version 31 only
• Opensuse Leap: version 15.0 only
• Samba Samba: from 4.5.0, before 4.9.15 (fixed in 4.9.15); from 4.10.0, before 4.10.10 (fixed in 4.10.10); from 4.11.0, before 4.11.2 (fixed in 4.11.2)
