{"id":"CVE-2021-31800","details":"Multiple path traversal vulnerabilities exist in smbserver.py in Impacket through 0.9.22. An attacker that connects to a running smbserver instance can list and write to arbitrary files via ../ directory traversal. This could potentially be abused to achieve arbitrary code execution by replacing /etc/shadow or an SSH authorized key.","aliases":["GHSA-mj63-64x7-57xf","PYSEC-2021-17"],"modified":"2026-10-05T17:26:53.864667135Z","published":"2021-05-05T11:15:07.397Z","related":["openSUSE-SU-2024:11232-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:14142-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:12011-1"],"database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:o:fedoraproject:fedora:32:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:o:fedoraproject:fedora:33:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:o:fedoraproject:fedora:34:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"last_affected":"32"},{"last_affected":"33"},{"last_affected":"34"}],"source":"CPE_FIELD","vendor_product":"fedoraproject:fedora"}]},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/IPXDPWCAPVX3UWYZ3N2T5OLBSBBUHJP6/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/KRV2C5DATXBHG6TF6CEEX54KZ75THQS3/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UF56LYB27LHEIFJTFHU3M75NMNNK2SCG/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/cb6d43a677c338db930bc4e9161620832c1ec624/impacket/smbserver.py#L2008"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/cb6d43a677c338db930bc4e9161620832c1ec624/impacket/smbserver.py#L2958"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/cb6d43a677c338db930bc4e9161620832c1ec624/impacket/smbserver.py#L3485"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/cb6d43a677c338db930bc4e9161620832c1ec624/impacket/smbserver.py#L876"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/releases"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/commit/49c643bf66620646884ed141c94e5fdd85bcdd2f"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
