CVE-2019-14833
06.11.2019, 10:15
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.Enginsight

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-305 - Authentication Bypass by Primary WeaknessThe authentication algorithm is sound, but the implemented mechanism can be bypassed as the result of a separate weakness that is primary to the authentication error.
- CWE-521 - Weak Password RequirementsThe product does not require that users should have strong passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
