{"id":"CVE-2019-14833","details":"A flaw was found in Samba, all versions starting samba 4.5.0 before samba 4.9.15, samba 4.10.10, samba 4.11.2, in the way it handles a user password change or a new password for a samba user. The Samba Active Directory Domain Controller can be configured to use a custom script to check for password complexity. This configuration can fail to verify password complexity when non-ASCII characters are used in the password, which could lead to weak passwords being set for samba users, making it vulnerable to dictionary attacks.","modified":"2026-04-16T04:36:42.941785995Z","published":"2019-11-06T10:15:10.793Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2019:2866-1","SUSE-SU-2019:2868-1","SUSE-SU-2020:2673-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:2442-1","openSUSE-SU-2019:2458-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:11365-1"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2021/05/msg00023.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2023/09/msg00013.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/OKPYHDFI7HRELVXBE5J4MTGSI35AKFBI/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UMIYCYXCPRTVCVZ3TP6ZGPJ6RZS3IX4G/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XQ3IUACPZJXSC4OM6P2V4IC4QMZQZWPD/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-11/msg00015.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2019-14833.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.synology.com/security/advisory/Synology_SA_19_35"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2019-14833"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/samba-team/samba","events":[{"introduced":"916fab083a8cb5c10365da7f3a85d0bbfde4a30e"},{"fixed":"0d69a39c463ea7da23f3b2d1aecedb2d6bbcfd15"},{"introduced":"25f2fe02a615e2cf906b6fa495acd8ea0aa9998a"},{"fixed":"e6f6df7658d0f147a32af157cffaf11b69e59a2b"},{"introduced":"d60cf580825819f11de9e50ec4c4ce591d695ad9"},{"fixed":"df2b97d12e6d5d36dc152896a21ba44bc7531654"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"4.5.0"},{"fixed":"4.9.15"},{"introduced":"4.10.0"},{"fixed":"4.10.10"},{"introduced":"4.11.0"},{"fixed":"4.11.2"}]}}],"versions":["ldb-1.5.5","ldb-1.5.6","samba-4.10.0","samba-4.10.1","samba-4.10.6","samba-4.10.7","samba-4.10.9","samba-4.11.0","samba-4.11.1"],"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"29"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"30"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"31"}]},{"events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"15.0"}]}],"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2019-14833.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N"}]}
