Because the 16 byte hashed - values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's - password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified - client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable - technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible. - You should thus treat the data stored in whatever - passdb backend you use (smbpasswd file, ldap, mysql) as though it contained the - cleartext passwords of all your users.

By default Samba will accept connections from -any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on -a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be -especially vulnerable. </p><p> -One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the <b>hosts allow</b> and -<b>hosts deny</b> options in the Samba <tt>smb.conf</tt> configuration file to only -allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example -might be: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24 - hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 -</pre><p> -The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own -computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and -192.168.3. All other connections will be refused as soon -as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a -'not listening on called name' error. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2900967"></a>Using interface protection</h2></div></div><p> -By default Samba will accept connections on any network interface that -it finds on your system. That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP -connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those -links. This may not be what you want. -</p><p> -You can change this behaviour using options like the following: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - interfaces = eth* lo - bind interfaces only = yes -</pre><p> -This tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a -name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback -interface called 'lo'. The name you will need to use depends on what -OS you are using, in the above I used the common name for Ethernet -adapters on Linux. -</p><p> -If you use the above and someone tries to make a SMB connection to -your host over a PPP interface called 'ppp0' then they will get a TCP -connection refused reply. In that case no Samba code is run at all as -the operating system has been told not to pass connections from that -interface to any samba process. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2901018"></a>Using a firewall</h2></div></div><p> -Many people use a firewall to deny access to services that they don't -want exposed outside their network. This can be a very good idea, -although I would recommend using it in conjunction with the above -methods so that you are protected even if your firewall is not active -for some reason. +A new apprentice reported for duty to the Chief Engineer of a boiler house. He said, "Here I am, +if you will show me the boiler I'll start working on it." Then engineer replied, "You're leaning +on it!" </p><p> -If you are setting up a firewall then you need to know what TCP and -UDP ports to allow and block. Samba uses the following: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - UDP/137 - used by nmbd - UDP/138 - used by nmbd - TCP/139 - used by smbd - TCP/445 - used by smbd -</pre><p> -The last one is important as many older firewall setups may not be -aware of it, given that this port was only added to the protocol in -recent years. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2901061"></a>Using a IPC$ share deny</h2></div></div><p> -If the above methods are not suitable, then you could also place a -more specific deny on the IPC$ share that is used in the recently -discovered security hole. This allows you to offer access to other -shares while denying access to IPC$ from potentially untrustworthy -hosts. +Security concerns are just like that: You need to know a little about the subject to appreciate +how obvious most of it really is. The challenge for most of us is to discover that first morsel +of knowledge with which we may unlock the secrets of the masters. +</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2929550"></a>Features and Benefits</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> +There are three level at which security principals must be observed in order to render a site +at least moderately secure. These are: the perimeter firewall, the configuration of the host +server that is running Samba, and Samba itself. </p><p> -To do that you could use: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - [ipc$] - hosts allow = 192.168.115.0/24 127.0.0.1 - hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 -</pre><p> -this would tell Samba that IPC$ connections are not allowed from -anywhere but the two listed places (localhost and a local -subnet). Connections to other shares would still be allowed. As the -IPC$ share is the only share that is always accessible anonymously -this provides some level of protection against attackers that do not -know a username/password for your host. +Samba permits a most flexible approach to network security. As far as possible Samba implements +the latest protocols to permit more secure MS Windows file and print operations. </p><p> -If you use this method then clients will be given a 'access denied' -reply when they try to access the IPC$ share. That means that those -clients will not be able to browse shares, and may also be unable to -access some other resources. +Samba may be secured from connections that originate from outside the local network. This may be +done using <span class="emphasis"><em>host based protection</em></span> (using samba's implementation of a technology +known as "tcpwrappers", or it may be done be using <span class="emphasis"><em>interface based exclusion</em></span> +so that <span class="application">smbd</span> will bind only to specifically permitted interfaces. It is also +possible to set specific share or resource based exclusions, eg: on the <i class="parameter"><tt>IPC$</tt></i> +auto-share. The <i class="parameter"><tt>IPC$</tt></i> share is used for browsing purposes as well as to establish +TCP/IP connections. </p><p> -This is not recommended unless you cannot use one of the other -methods listed above for some reason. -</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2900617"></a>NTLMv2 Security</h2></div></div><p> -To configure NTLMv2 authentication the following registry keys are worth knowing about: -</p><p> -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa] - "lmcompatibilitylevel"=dword:00000003 +Another method by which Samba may be secured is by way of setting Access Control Entries in an Access +Control List on the shares themselves.

By default Samba will accept connections from + any host, which means that if you run an insecure version of Samba on + a host that is directly connected to the Internet you can be + especially vulnerable. + </p><p> + One of the simplest fixes in this case is to use the <i class="parameter"><tt>hosts allow</tt></i> and + <i class="parameter"><tt>hosts deny</tt></i> options in the Samba <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> configuration file to only + allow access to your server from a specific range of hosts. An example + might be: + </p><pre class="programlisting"> + hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24 + hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 + </pre><p> + The above will only allow SMB connections from 'localhost' (your own + computer) and from the two private networks 192.168.2 and + 192.168.3. All other connections will be refused as soon + as the client sends its first packet. The refusal will be marked as a + <span class="errorname">not listening on called name</span> error. + </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2928297"></a>User based protection</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> + If you want to restrict access to your server to valid users only then the following + method may be of use.

That means if you have a ISDN line or a PPP + connection to the Internet then Samba will accept connections on those + links. This may not be what you want. + </p><p> + You can change this behaviour using options like the following: + </p><pre class="programlisting"> + interfaces = eth* lo + bind interfaces only = yes + </pre><p> + This tells Samba to only listen for connections on interfaces with a + name starting with 'eth' such as eth0, eth1, plus on the loopback + interface called 'lo'.
