Description

The Samba vfs_fruit module uses extended file attributes (EA, xattr) to provide "...enhanced compatibility with Apple SMB clients and interoperability with a Netatalk 3 AFP fileserver." Samba versions prior to 4.13.17, 4.14.12 and 4.15.5 with vfs_fruit configured allow out-of-bounds heap read and write via specially crafted extended file attributes. A remote attacker with write access to extended file attributes can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of smbd, typically root. An out-of-bounds heap read write vulnerability was found in Samba. Due to a boundary error when processing EA metadata while opening files in smbd within the VFS Samba module (vfs_fruit), a remote attacker with ability to write to file's extended attributes can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
