=========================================================== == Subject: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution == in Samba printing subsystem == == CVE ID#: CVE-2026-4480 == == Versions: All versions == == Summary: Samba print servers with a "print command" == that has the %J substitution character == are vulnerable to a Remote Code Execution ===========================================================

=========== Description ===========

Samba passes the client-controlled job description string to the command configured with the "print command" setting via the "%J" substitution character without escaping shell meta characters. This leads to a remote code execution vulnerability.

Print servers configured with "printing = cups" or "printing = iprint", and print servers that do not have the %J substitution character in the "print command" setting are not affected.

The problem is much less dangerous if %J has singles quotes directly around it, e.g. '%J', but it's still possible to inject command line options.

By default, print servers allow guest users to print.

================== Patch Availability ==================

Patches addressing this issue have been posted to:

https://www.samba.org/samba/security/

Additionally, Samba $VERSIONS have been issued as security releases to correct the defect. Samba administrators are advised to upgrade to these releases or apply the patch as soon as possible.

================== CVSSv3 calculation ==================

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H 10.0

========== Workaround ==========

Adding single quotes (directly!) around %J (=> '%J') makes it much less likely an attacker can do something useful. Note using double quotes may not be enough.

If unsure remove %J completely from the "print command" smb.conf entry.

https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS.html

SECURITY FIXES: Six CVEs are fixed in this release. All six are assigned by VulnCheck as CNA. Affected versions are 3.4.2 and earlier in every case. Three of the six (CVE-2026-29518, CVE-2026-43617, CVE-2026-43619) require non-default daemon configuration to reach: the first and third need use chroot = no for a module, the second needs daemon chroot = ... set in rsyncd.conf. Two (CVE-2026-43618, CVE-2026-43620) are reachable from a normal pull or a normal authenticated daemon connection. The sixth (CVE-2026-45232) is reachable only when RSYNC_PROXY is set and the proxy (or a MITM) returns a pathological response. Many thanks to the external researchers who reported these issues.

CVE-2026-29518 (CVSS v4.0 7.3, HIGH): TOCTOU symlink race condition allowing local privilege escalation in daemon mode without chroot. An rsync daemon configured with "use chroot = no" was exposed to a time-of-check / time-of-use race on parent path components: a local attacker with write access to a module could replace a parent directory component with a symlink between the receiver's check and its open(), redirecting reads (basis-file disclosure) and writes (file overwrite) outside the module. Default "use chroot = yes" is not exposed. secure_relative_open() (added in 3.4.0 for CVE-2024-12086) was previously unused in the daemon-no-chroot case; the fix enables it there and reroutes the sender's read-path opens through it. Reported by Nullx3D (Batuhan Sancak), Damien Neil and Michael Stapelberg.

CVE-2026-43617 (CVSS v3.1 4.8, MEDIUM): Hostname/ACL bypass on an rsync daemon configured with daemon chroot = /X in rsyncd.conf when the chroot tree lacks DNS resolution support. The reverse-DNS lookup of the connecting client was performed after the daemon chroot had been entered; if /X did not contain the libc resolver fixtures (/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts, NSS service modules) the lookup failed and the connecting hostname was set to "UNKNOWN", causing hostname-based deny rules to silently fail open. IP-based ACLs are unaffected. The per-module use chroot setting is unrelated to this issue. The fix performs the lookup before entering the daemon chroot. Reported by MegaManSec.

CVE-2026-43618 (CVSS v3.1 8.1, HIGH): Integer overflow in the compressed-token decoder enabling remote memory disclosure to an authenticated daemon peer. The receiver accumulated a 32-bit signed counter without overflow checking; a malicious sender could trigger an overflow that, with careful manipulation, leaked process memory contents to the attacker -⁠-⁠ environment variables, passwords, heap and library pointers -⁠-⁠ significantly weakening ASLR. The fix bounds the counter and adds wire-input validation in several adjacent places (defence-in-depth). Workaround for older releases: refuse options = compress in rsyncd.conf. Reported by Omar Elsayed.

CVE-2026-43619 (CVSS v3.1 6.3, MEDIUM): Symlink races on path-based system calls in "use chroot = no" daemon mode (generalisation of CVE-2026-29518). Earlier fixes for symlink races on the receiver's open() call missed the same race class on every other path-based system call: chmod, lchown, utimes, rename, unlink, mkdir, symlink, mknod, link, rmdir and lstat. The fix routes each affected path-based syscall through a parent dirfd opened under RESOLVE_BENEATH-equivalent kernel-enforced confinement (openat2 on Linux 5.6+, O_RESOLVE_BENEATH on FreeBSD 13+ and macOS 15+, per-component O_NOFOLLOW walk elsewhere). Default "use chroot = yes" is not exposed. Reported by Andrew Tridgell as a follow-on audit of CVE-2026-29518.

CVE-2026-43620 (CVSS v3.1 6.5, MEDIUM): Out-of-bounds read in the receiver's recv_files() enabling remote denial-of-service of any client pulling from a malicious server (incomplete fix of commit 797e17f). The earlier parent_ndx<0 guard added to send_files() was not applied to the visually-identical block in recv_files(). A malicious rsync server can drive any connecting client into a deterministic SIGSEGV by setting CF_INC_RECURSE in the compatibility flags and sending a crafted file list and transfer record. inc_recurse is the protocol-30+ default, so no special options are required on the victim. Workaround for older releases: --no-inc-recursive on the client. Reported by Pratham Gupta.

CVE-2026-45232 (CVSS v3.1 3.1, LOW): Off-by-one out-of-bounds stack write in the rsync client's HTTP CONNECT proxy handler (establish_proxy_connection() in socket.c). After issuing the CONNECT request, rsync read the proxy's first response line one byte at a time into a 1024-byte stack buffer with the bound cp < &buffer[sizeof buffer - 1]. If the proxy (or a MITM in front of it) returned 1023+ bytes on that first line without a newline terminator, cp exited the loop pointing at a buffer slot the loop never wrote, leaving *cp holding stale stack data from the earlier snprintf() of the outgoing CONNECT request. The post-loop logic then wrote a single \0 one byte past the end of the buffer on the stack. Reach is client-side only, and only when RSYNC_PROXY is set so rsync tunnels an rsync:// connection through an HTTP CONNECT proxy. The written byte is always \0 and the offset is fixed by the buffer size, not attacker-chosen, so this is not an arbitrary-write primitive: practical impact is corruption of one adjacent stack byte and possible later misbehaviour or crash. The fix detects the "buffer filled without finding \n" case explicitly by position and refuses the response with "proxy response line too long". Reported by Aisle Research via Michal Ruprich (rsync-3.4.1-2.el10 QE).

In addition to the six CVE fixes, this release adds defence-in-depth hardening on several adjacent paths: bounded wire-supplied counts and lengths in flist/io/acls/xattrs, a guard against length underflow in cumulative snprintf() callers, a parent block-index bounds check on the receiver, a NULL check in read_delay_line(), a lower ceiling on MAX_WIRE_DEL_STAT to avoid signed-int overflow in the read_del_stats() accumulator, rejection of hyphen-prefixed remote-shell hostnames (defence-in-depth against argv-injection in tooling that forwards untrusted input into the hostspec position; reported by Aisle Research via Michal Ruprich), and a NULL-check on localtime_r() in timestring() to keep a malicious server from crashing the client by advertising a file with an out-of-range modtime.

Today, 11th May 2026 CERT is releasing a set of six CVEs for serious security vulnerabilities in dnsmasq. These are all long-standing bugs which apply to pretty much all non-ancient versions. The CVE has been pre-disclosed to vendors, so hopefully they will be releasing patched versions of their dnsmasq packages in a timely manner.

Details and patches are available on the website at

https://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/CVE/

and I have made "2.92rel2" release of the current 2.92 dnsmasq stable release which is downloadable from the usual place and has had these patches applied.

At the same time, the commits which fix these bugs in the development tree will be uploaded. Some of these use the same patches as the backports, but some are more comprehensive re-writes to tackle root-causes.

There has been something of a revolution in AI-based security research, and I've spent a lot of time over the last couple of months dealing with bug reports, weeding duplicates (so many duplicates!) and triaging bugs into those which need vendor pre-disclosure and those which it's better to make public and fix immediately. Those judgements have been necessarily subjective, but given the number of times "good guys" have found these bugs, there's no doubt that "bad guys" have been able to do the same, so long embargoes seem kind of pointless. There's also the problem that the amount of time and effort, for all actors, needed to co-ordinate an embargo and provide backports is huge. I think the priority for most bugs is to fix them going forward, and have new dnsmasq releases as bug-free as possible. To this end, you may have noticed that there have been a lot of security-fix commits to the git repo in the weeks prior to this announcement.

I will shortly tag dnsmasq-2.93rc1 and the aim is to get a stable 2.93 release done ASAP. Testing of release candidate by members here is important and I'd like to encourage anyone who can to do that as soon as they can. With luck, 2.93 could be out in a week or so.

The tsunami of AI-generated bug reports shows no signs of stopping, so it is likely that this process will have to be repeated again soon. There's a tension between getting as much as possible of the ongoing bug stream fixed in 2.93 and it's timely release. I plan to prioritise timeliness, and keep working after that as necessary.

we are pleased to announce the availability of release 4.99.2 of Exim.

This is a security release.

It fixes the following vulnerabilities.

CVE-2026-40684 Possible crash with malicious DNS data when using musl libc

On systems using musl libc (not glibc) due to an oddity in octal printing it is possible to crash the connection instance when malformed DNS data is present in PTR records.

CVE-2026-40685 Possible OOB read/write on corrupt JSON in header

configurations using json operators on invalid externally-provided input could trigger heap corruption.

CVE-2026-40686 Possible OOB read with large UTF8 trailing characters

configurations using utf8 operators on malformed utf8 in headers could trigger OOB reads and might trigger some data leak if error messages are required for subsequent emails in the current connection and similar malformed headers are present.

CVE-2026-40687 Possible OOB read/write with SPA authenticator

in configurations using the SPA authentication driver to a hostile/compromised external SPA/NTLM connnection it is possible to trigger an OOB read/write and crash the connection instance or possibly leak heap data to the instance.

Older Exim versions may or may not be vulnerable but are not actively maintained.

We would like to thank the thousands of unnamed and uncredited authors whose works were ingested into the slopbots to "assist" in the reports for these vulnerabilities.
