Samba GnuTLS RNG fail: Predictable values lead to privilege escalation
CVE-2022-1615 Published on September 1, 2022
In Samba, GnuTLS gnutls_rnd() can fail and give predictable random values.
Weakness Type
Use of Insufficiently Random Values
The software uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers. When software generates predictable values in a context requiring unpredictability, it may be possible for an attacker to guess the next value that will be generated, and use this guess to impersonate another user or access sensitive information.
