CVE-1999-0519: CIFS NULL Session Permitted

Post by soniya_ag » 2016/09/06 10:26:00

HI all,

For getting rid of the vulnerability CVE-1999-0519 , I am trying these steps.

If the RHEL system is configured as an Active Directory client or samba service is running on it, below steps can be followed to overcome these vulnerabilities :

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add following lines in [global] section.

guest account = nobody
restrict anonymous = 1

Restart smb service after modifying smb.conf. i.e:

# service smb restart
This will restrict anonymous access to Samba service.

I still get the vulnerability.
Please help .
