CVE-2019-14861 is fixed in 17 products on 1 platform, first by ctdb 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14, released December 9, 2019. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2019-14861 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: n/a (Medium) - EPSS: 0.0230 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Dec 9, 2019 ## Description All Samba versions 4.x.x before 4.9.17, 4.10.x before 4.10.11 and 4.11.x before 4.11.3 have an issue, where the (poorly named) dnsserver RPC pipe provides administrative facilities to modify DNS records and zones. Samba, when acting as an AD DC, stores DNS records in LDAP. In AD, the default permissions on the DNS partition allow creation of new records by authenticated users. This is used for example to allow machines to self-register in DNS. If a DNS record was created that case-insensitively matched the name of the zone, the ldb_qsort() and dns_name_compare() routines could be confused into reading memory prior to the list of DNS entries when responding to DnssrvEnumRecords() or DnssrvEnumRecords2() and so following invalid memory as a pointer. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | ctdb Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [ctdb 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-ctdb-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | libnss-winbind Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [libnss-winbind 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libnss-winbind-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | libpam-winbind Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [libpam-winbind 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libpam-winbind-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | libparse-pidl-perl Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [libparse-pidl-perl 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libparse-pidl-perl-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | libsmbclient Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [libsmbclient 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libsmbclient-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | libwbclient0 Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [libwbclient0 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libwbclient0-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | python-samba Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [python-samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-python-samba-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | registry-tools Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [registry-tools 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-registry-tools-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-common Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-common 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-common-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-common-bin Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-common-bin 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-common-bin-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-dsdb-modules Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-dsdb-modules 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-dsdb-modules-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-libs Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-libs 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-libs-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-testsuite Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-testsuite 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-testsuite-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | samba-vfs-modules Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [samba-vfs-modules 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-samba-vfs-modules-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | smbclient Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [smbclient 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-smbclient-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | | Linux | winbind Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14 | [winbind 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-winbind-2-4.7.6-dfsg-ubuntu-0ubuntu2.14.md) | Dec 9, 2019 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T07:25:28Z UTC.
