Format string vulnerability in the afsacl.so VFS module in Samba 3.0.6 through 3.0.23d allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a filename on an AFS file system, which is not properly handled during Windows ACL mapping.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-0454 is a flaw in Samba’s optional afsacl.so module. In specific deployments using AFS-backed file systems and Windows ACL mapping, a specially named file could make Samba mishandle text formatting and potentially run attacker-controlled code. Exposure appears limited to older Samba deployments using the afsacl.so VFS module with AFS file systems and Windows ACL mapping. Generic Samba use without this module or data path is not shown as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as high priority for legacy Samba environments using AFS integration. It is not automatically enterprise-wide; urgency depends on whether this old optional module is deployed. Mitigation focus: Identify any Samba 3.0.6 through 3.0.23d systems.; Check whether afsacl.so is enabled on AFS-backed shares.; Apply Samba or distribution vendor guidance for fixed packages..
