Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) in version 2.0.7 does not log login attempts where the username is correct but the password is wrong, allowing remote attackers to conduct brute force password guessing attacks.

Risk Assessment

The lack of logging for failed login attempts poses a risk that attackers can effectively guess passwords, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Samba that improves login attempt logging and to implement additional security measures, such as limiting the number of login attempts.
