Buffer overflow in the nss_winbind.so.1 library in Samba 3.0.21 through 3.0.23d, as used in the winbindd daemon on Solaris, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) gethostbyname and (2) getipnodebyname functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Samba winbind vulnerability affecting Solaris systems using nss_winbind.so.1 from Samba 3.0.21 through 3.0.23d. The reported impact is arbitrary code execution, so remaining legacy systems should be treated seriously even though active exploitation is not documented here. Exposure is most likely on legacy Solaris hosts running Samba 3.0.21 through 3.0.23d with winbindd and nss_winbind configured for name-service lookups. The bundle does not support assuming non-Solaris exposure. Prioritize remediation for any still-operational Solaris authentication or file-service infrastructure. This is legacy software, but arbitrary code execution in identity plumbing can create outsized risk if the system remains trusted. Mitigation focus: Inventory Solaris systems using Samba winbind and nss_winbind.so.1.; Check Samba and operating-system vendor advisories for supported fixed packages.; Upgrade or replace affected Samba 3.0.21 through 3.0.23d deployments..
