| Description: |
Synopsis :
The remote file server is prone to a symlink attack.
Description :
The remote Samba server is configured insecurely and allows a remote
attacker to gain read or possibly write access to arbitrary files on
the affected host. Specifically, if an attacker has a valid Samba
account for a share that is writable or there is a writable share that
is configured to be a guest account share, he can create a symlink
using directory traversal sequences and gain access to files and
directories outside that share.
Note that successful exploitation requires that the Samba server's
'wide links' parameter be set to 'yes', which is the default.

Solution :
Set 'wide links = no' in the [global] section of smbd.conf.
Risk factor :
High / CVSS Base Score : 7.5
