HP CIFS/9000 Server (SAMBA) A.01.07 and earlier with the "unix password sync" option enabled calls the passwd program without specifying the username of the user making the request, which could cause the server to change the password of a different user.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects legacy HP CIFS/9000 Server using Samba A.01.07 or earlier when unix password sync is enabled. A password-change request could update the wrong user’s password, creating account disruption or unauthorized credential changes. The sources do not provide CVSS, CWE, or confirmed exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to very old HP-UX environments still running HP CIFS/9000 Server/Samba A.01.07 or earlier with unix password sync enabled. Modern systems are unlikely to be affected unless legacy software remains in production or isolated enclaves. Prioritize based on whether legacy HP CIFS/9000 exists. If present on business-critical systems, handle promptly because password integrity issues can disrupt access and weaken account control. If no such legacy platform exists, no further action is needed beyond documentation. Mitigation focus: Inventory HP CIFS/9000 Server installations and record Samba/CIFS version details.; Check whether unix password sync is enabled on any remaining systems.; Disable unix password sync where operationally feasible until vendor guidance is confirmed..
