Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Samba
Samba is an open source SMB/CIFS implementation. Details have been made public for a directory traversal vulnerability in Samba that allows a remote attacker to retrieve and/or modify certain files on Samba servers. It appears that symlinks can be used to allow a client to gain access to files on the server that they would not otherwise be authorized to access. The access is limited to the permissions of the process, which generally does not run as a superuser. A patch is not currently available for this vulnerability. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
