Badlock or Sadlock?

No matter which name you prefer, Badlock or Sadlock, for the recently disclosed CVE-2016-2118 (SAMR and LSA man-in-the-middle attacks possible) and for Windows by CVE-2016-0128/MS16-047 (Windows SAM and LSAD Downgrade Vulnerability) Tenable has you covered. Nessus®, SecurityCenter™, SecurityCenter CV™, or Passive Vulnerability Scanner™, Tenable can determine if you are at risk.

According to Badlock.org, the security vulnerabilities can be mostly categorized as man-in-the-middle or denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. These would permit execution of arbitrary Samba network calls using the context of the intercepted user, such as the ability to view or modify secrets within an AD database, including user password hashes, or shut down critical services or modify user permissions on files or directories. A DoS attack against the Samba service is also possible by an attacker with remote network connectivity.

Affected versions of Samba are:

  • 3.6.x
  • 4.0.x
  • 4.1.x
  • 4.2.0-4.2.9
  • 4.3.0-4.3.6
  • 4.4.0

Regardless of where you stand on the “Sadlock” discussion, if the hype warranted the naming of this vulnerability, Tenable can provide visibility into where to prioritize your remediation efforts for Badlock.
